It must be regional here it's Pennzoil Platinum.
First Walmart change in years, cause I can get VWB for $10 plus a bit extra for disposal fees. Was looking for a 6000 mile oci to get me up to a odometer divisible by 5000. IIRC-- Here it's QS for the $20 cheapy, PYB for the $30, choice of Magnatec (now replaced by ST) or not sure which brandhigh mileage oil for $37 or Mobil 1 for $47 (used to be Penz Platinum IIRC). Looks like they may be dropping Shell brands-- might they eventually get to ST across the board with Mobil 1 on the high end. Who knows? Walmart will get the best deal they can. If ST can replace Magnatec they might broaden it's position. I was happy a decade or so ago with $10 ST base oil changes.
I'd rather pay $18 for ST than $21 for QS.
