This price puts it in the running for best value oil, and it takes the prize when major brand is the criteria.

I understand what you're saying to a degree, but i do consider Chevron on par with Shell, Mobil and BP.

Considering we have daily threads on thick vs thin, color of windshield washer fluid and more, this is nothing.
This is really a good value. Chevron is on par with the rest of the big boys.

Chevron Lubricants don't have the marketing budget of Mobil 1, Pennzoil/QS, Castrol, etc. Their additives R&D is on par with anyone in the world, and they develop their own base oils. Many of the big names probably buy their base oil and additives from Chevron. I know some people who think their oil must be worse because of the price, but I haven't heard anything saying the oils are substandard.

Let's be nice now. Considering how much Wemay contributes here; I can overlook a good Wal Mart finding. It's way better than motoroilmadman posting some bs or ZZMAN posting oddities that make me shake my head

I'd buy it but, my local Walmart is not stocking it yet.

That makes sense. I've always thought M1 and PP were superior because they make their own base stocks (and good ones at that... PAO and GTL) and therefore can put out a superior product for a cheaper/same price... which is why I think EDGE is inferior except 0W-30/40; in order to compete on price they have to cheapen the base stock.

GMguy84,
I doubt that's their everyday price but WOW, a deal indeed.

Today was the first time i'd ever seen Havoline Synthetic at my Walmart too. The employee putting out the oil filters said they can't keep enough of it on the shelf. It's been in the store for a week now and the box i bought was the last of the inventory.

Thanks. Sadly, my local Walmart doesn't carry any Smart Boxes. Also I can't get walmart.com to cough this Pro DS stuff up. But I can get (what I presume is) conventional oil SMART BOX Havoline for $14.97/6 quarts. That's still a good deal. Also available in 5w-20, 10w-30, and for $0.50 more, HiMi (High MIleage).

Not a roll back...
Yes I was at my local WM the other day and they had no Havoline in a box. So then along comes this Gentleman in a blue Walmart coat. and the name tag said Manager. We had a little chat about why they didn't have Havoline in a box.
