Not interested in a debate, just where I can purchase this oil in bulk for a reasonable price (not the dealer that is)?

Thanks!

you can get it at autozone...or most car parts places. I've had trouble finding it at walmart and other places like that. If someone else knows where to get the stuff larger containers...I'd love to know as well. I can get the castrol for the 85 in larger containers.

Yeah that was the point excatly which is to buy in the larger containers for what is typcially $1-2 less per quart. Why pay more right?

I bought it at a local auto parts store, but surprisingly, the dealer sells it for the same price. (~$5-6 a qt.).

BillJ

Only ASSumed it would be pricier at the dealer. Will make some inquiries in the morning.

Thanks

Found it at Pep Boys last time I needed it , think it was $5.75 a qt, bought 2 cases as it can be hard to find.

Normally I find it at Walmart

However, I found that while I could buy Mobil 1 0w-40 from him, it only came in 6-quart cases and he required I buy by the case (though I think once or twice he relented after I had bought some oil from him).

And I found he could not beat or even match the price I paid for the same oil at a nearby Walmart.

Since moving away from that area, I now pick the oil up a local autoparts store, Kragen, and last time even got a $1 off per quart courtesy of store manager special.

Sincerely,

Macster.

It should be right next to the other cooking oils at the supermarket.

I get them from Kragen, and often they have the $1 off special and I just stock up at the time. I love it so much that I am even using 0w40 in my Range Rover. Much smoother running engine when cold!

I have read your opinions in the many degenerated threads you have created. I have no issue with you personally but the non-debate comment was directed squarely in your general direction. Please do not post again on this thread.

Thanks
Bill

To the other comments thanks for the options! I have looked at three different Walmarts and the ones around here do not stock them.

I don't understand your problem. Are you saying that the supermarket DOES NOT carry the Mobil 0W40? You must not shop at Sam's Club.

1999 is a valuble contributor. Besides, motor oil is a topic we have a lot of fun with.

I got 0W40 at a local autoparts store, but the price sucked. I will be looking at WalMart, although they are out of stock around here.

IMHO These motor oil posts are kind of pointless, Mobil 1 is Staple at most auto parts stores, wal-marts, sams clubs, costo's, etc, If I find Mobil 1 0w-40 in my neighborhood Pep-Boys, how is that going to help any of you guys?? Price is usually within $1-$2 qt at any of the above mentioned stores.
Best bet is to get the phone book out and make a few calls to see who has it in stock.
I am happy to post away and help anyone out there, but this one topic seems like a waste of time,
especially when the post degenerates into BS as is happening here rather quickly.

since we are posting in internet forums, aren't we by definition wasting time? What is time, anyway?
