You haven't priced single quarts anywhere, huh ?
Price isn't great, but if you don't like it, don't buy it.

The little blue bottle Rx. How long before the generic be on the market?
But is it covered by your insurance?
Have you ever read some of the tests PQIA has done on gas station and convenience store no name oils? OMG some had zero additives, loaded with contaminants and were not in grade. Interesting reads! Here is an example: http://pqiadata.org/XpressLubePro_5W30.html and another https://pqia.org/sgt-p-motor-oil-sae-5w-30/

Well, it works as a suntan lotion too don't sha know?
What kind of Meds do you need to be on to pay that much ?
This is the first time I have seen the Gulf brand on any product in a long time. Did some other company buy or license the brand? I thought it was defunct a long time ago.

Google "Gulf Motor Oil" you will be amazed by the selection.
You will need to scroll down some.

Looks like a distribution company HQ'd in NY. Underserved nich market; Low qty /high unit pricing to places like grocery stores and convenience marts.
They just pay GULF for the recognizable tm branding. Their house brand is ECOSE oddly also on the front label!
Likely serviceable oil and miles better than the uncertified line wash usually haunting these stores
Why I have an opened quart bottle in the trunk of my burners for top-off if required when away.
I posted the picture of the "GuLf" oil bottle because I figured it was "less than great" oil available in a pharmacy (CVS).
Back in the day my Dad ran a real Gulf station and he always said that Gulfpride was great oil at the time. I wouldn't put this stuff in my lawn mower. Maybe I'm too picky.

Could be blended by Omni (Shreveport) or Warren Oil/TCI or ??I posted the picture of the "GuLf" oil bottle because I figured it was "less than great" oil available in a pharmacy (CVS).

It's got an API starbust on the front that ain't nuthin'; Boy gotta respect the badge!
I wouldn't put it in my lawnmower bc it's too many $$$ and its 5W20.
By the way lawnmowers need a quality, tuff oil, they have no oil pump (typically) and run less than a quart in an air-cooled engine.
I think the saying goes, "I wouldn't paint my old fence post with this stuff!"
