Wouldn't they run out if people were buying it? I mean how can they get new old stock?

You'll get much better prices on all those oils at Walmart.

None of the Walmarts in this state stock Ultra (would have to ship from walmart.com and walmart.com doesn't have any of the more designer Ultra blends).

Plus walmart doesn't carry any of the Euro grades either.

When I bought Pennzoil Euro at an auto part store earlier this year, it ended up being about $3/qt due to all the sales that were going on.
True, i did clear an autozone shelf of pen plat at $1.00 a quart about 2 years ago. And some ultra at $2.00.
I have not seen any deals like this lately.

I used to work for said retailer. People very seldom bought individual quarts of synthetic oils. If they were buying one or two quarts, it was almost always the cheapest conventional brand we had. QS, Mobil Super or house label stuff to top off their beater/burner/leaker.
As for syns, Mobil 1 was the best seller and it was almost always in the form of the jug and filter deal for about $35.
Occasionally we'd get obnoxious rednecks buying the $45.99 jugs of Royal Purple.
Keep in mind the big chain parts stores cater to folks who have older cars and don't want to spend much to keep them running. Most of the hard parts is Chinese made junk.

This is exactly what I figured, wondering how they can keep all that expensive oil stocked and not selling. Judging by the age of some of the bottles, it's been sitting there a while. I wonder if I spoke to a manager if they'd want to move some of it for cheaper? or is it not even worth asking?

Local O'Reillys has 5 qts of Q Horsepower that still has $5.99 on them. I tried to beat em up on it. They won't budge so I laugh and walk away. They have been sitting in the same spot of the same clearance shelf for at least three years.

Too funny. That fits the RP fan-boys who show up on this site.
Just because someone doesn't like the same brand oil as another person doesn't mean they are a "redneck". One could make a lot of "stereo types" about this site as a whole if they wanted.
If they want to pay $45 for a jug of RP that is their business. If they like the product enough to keep buying it, obviously they feel it is worth it. That shouldn't really concern anyone else. 5qt jugs of RP are cheaper than individual quarts of any synthetic at parts houses when you compare retail to retail.

Economically disadvantaged.

And RP is about $45.99 a jug here, cheaper than M1 EP, and definitely cheaper than PU, which is almost unobtainable, except at that moronic price at NAPA.
I'll admit, I've never tried any RP products but I did see 5 qt jugs of RP 0w-20 at Walmart for around $21.00
I got 6 quarts of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum shipped to my door for $49 on Amazon. Just a fyi.

Yeah, on Walmart.com I can get 10 qts (2 x 5 qt jugs) of PUP for $55.94 including shipping.

On sale and considering you get a premium filter in a bundle, there isn't much difference...
