I know that Walgreen's is not a place to buy oil, except in an emergency or if they are having an oil sale, but out of curiosity I wanted to see how much of an increase they have since they now carry SN oils for PYB and Formula Shell.
What an increase in price! PYB is now selling for $5.79 a quart and Formula Shell is $4.99 a quart. These are API SN, GF-5 rated oils in 05W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40!!!
That's a huge increase since the clearance sale last August when you could get Formula Shell SM GF-4 @ $1.99 a quart. Once they ran out of Formula Shell you could substitute PYB for the same $1.99 a quart.
Holy Mole.....talk about major increases in oil prices.....I hope this is not in store for us when Wallmart, Advance Auto and Auto Zone run out of SM GF-4 oils and only carry the new SN GF-5 oils!
There must be some "synthetic" in the new formulation for API SN, GF-5, if the price has shot up this high! Or else the add packs must contain a lot more additives than the prior versions.
Yup..the increased price might actually cause people, including myself to drive longer on their oil when it still has plenty of life left in it.
