48 quarts of 5W30 for $50. My fleet will eat this stuff up; assuming it actually arrives! Thanks!

Picked up (8) 5 quart jugs today at AZ for $5 each. 5w30 and 10w30 flavors. My moms car will love it.
 
Walmart took it off the shelf a few years ago for some reason.

That's odd, Walmart here still has it. My brother just got a bunch there and they price matched it to $1.00 each.
 
They are not supposed to price match clearance or close outs but that is not his problem, nice score. Wally's still stocks it here as well.

Thyreonly labeled as $1.00 per quart online. They're $5.xx on the shelf and ring up as $4.00. You gotta show them the online price and they'll match it.


Aha, I see! I may try this!

I didn't see any oils at $1/qt online in 4 zip codes that I entered for the 4 AZ's that I could visit in my area. Is their something I am missing?

EDIT:

OOPS! I found it but, I had to create a login/P-word acct.
I'd have to buy 75/qts to get free shipping as the shipping would not be worth the cost!

Thanks guys!

Plenty here too. Heck Walmart actually raised the price to $18.×× from $17.××.
 
Shipping on 74 qts or less is $100. Need 75 qts for free shipping! A good deal if I needed 75 qts of oil(15 OCI's) but, I already have a good stash and I can often get Full Syn oil(closeout/name brands) for ~ $1-$1.50/qt when I need it and ONLY buy what I want/need...

...If the local store will honor the online deal, I may go that route and ONLY buy ~ 20 qts just because!

Thank you again guys

This is certainly a good deal even with shipping($2.58/qt) but, I think I will probably pass on this one even though is hard to pass up at $1/qt.

Probably but, I wasn't going to play with the site long enough to find out. Thanks!

OTOH, sometimes you just have to try again.
I assembled an order of 100 qts various grades of the GTX blend, got the $25 AZ gift card code accepted and then got free ground shipping this morning.
So, as of the moment, you can still get the oil for a buck and free ground shipping.
At net .75/qt, I'm pleased.
 
If I didn't already have a stash assembled around Pennzoil Ultra at about this same kind of price (qt) I would be all over this thing. Still might be all over it, might try and talk the wife into getting me a Xmas present. It would be years before I use it though. With the trend towards lighter weight oils required by the manufacturer I've been left out in the cold as to needing 5w-30 as of late.

You can use any zipcode for a store to get the free shipping (none of the local stores had free shipping), so I picked one in Nashville, TN. I started with 24 quarts in my shopping cart and chose ground and it was free. I then changed my mind and edited the cart to add more and the shipping was still free.

That is what it says, but put it in your cart and go through to the shipping page and it is free. If it's not, don't hit the order button. I just did this an hour ago.
