I was at my local O'Reilly today switching out a battery that had gone bad. I decided to pick up a M1 filter for an oil change, as I had forgotten to get one before. My guy there, who I know a little, asked why I never bought oil there. I told him that they couldn't beat the prices of $25.xx for 5 quarts of M1 at Wally. He quickly responded that the reason WalMart oil is so cheap, is because they take defective bottles of oils from all the parts stores (i.e. O'Reilly and Carquest) and rebottle it.
Now 1) I highly doubt that there are enough defective bottles to sufficiently support WalMart's oil aisle
and 2) He said this like I was somehow getting an inferior product. I highly doubt even if this was true, rebottled oil would be any worse than the original.
So...is this true or is my guy at O'Reilly feeding me lies?
