Re: 0w-40
I have been tracking this here as well, a few weeks ago I saw ONE bottle of the 5+ QT size and asked if it was a error and a clearance item. The answer was no, so I went on (having a lot of those sales at autozone last year I have 5 oil changes in storage). The other day I see them re inventorying the oil area and studied the shelf diagram, and WOOOHOOO I see the 0W-40 spot, and the reg price is $24.95! So, it is coming but given I have 5 yrs worth (I don't drive her 7000+ a yr) I hope they still have it in 5 yrs (or I drive her a lot more thereby changing sooner). I say Yeah Babyyyy!

By the time you add shipping.. think win-win is done. Local pickup only?
Re: 0w-40
27.06 out the door, for 7$ a quart where I live, thats buying from walmart.
thats 38$ out the door for the single quarts
Sell the 5 gal jug for.... 35? 6ish dollars for standard shipping, thats 2 dollars profit for 3 dollars savings,
Yeah it would be tight to ship it, make money off it, and still be cheaper than the single quarts...
Doesn't look like its really worth it.
I guess I will just have to wait for walmart to step up their game :/

Sure is some nice free advertising here lately for wallyworld! Really, it is a great thing having this at wallyworld, it is much much more reasonable than buying the oil elsewhere. Just the dang filters now need to be a little less expensive. I cannot wait to see how the Mobil1 oil filter is holding up, I have the yearly oil change coming in July (I think, have to check the logbook) and this last time I used the M1 oil filter that came with the advance auto specials I bought a while back. The M1 filter went on real good, absolutely no issues at all compared to the fram filters of past. Anyway, I realize those 20 dollar M1 filters that came with the advance auto specials ($29.99 per 5.1qt and M1 filter & the later $32.00 per 5.1qt & M1 filter) just might be the better deal still if that M1 oil filter holds up really well. The retail for that M1 filter was $19.95 so, even though the wallyworld 5.1qt is @ 25 bucks, the M1 filter makes it a little more attractive if they (advance) includes it. I know many like the fleece one but personally I think the fleece one is just fleecing (pun intended) everyone.

Re: 0w-40
I called around to a number of Walmarts and pretty much all of them were sold out of the 0W-40.. checked some circulars online and saw that Autozone had a deal for $33.99 for 5 quarts plus a filter.. the catch being they'd only cover up to $13 for the filter (so you pay the difference)... so basically 5 quarts of 0w-40 plus the Mobil 1 filter cost about $40. I bought 10 quarts and 2 filters so the next oil change I'll be able to just buy the $25 jugs from Walmart
I had to pull my Crossfire out of storage early and, since I already had the day off, just decided to change the oil that day and didn't want to wait around for an online order... we'll see how the Mobil 1 filter holds up!

Re: 0w-40
I think if you're going with one of those "Oil Change " specials at Advance (etc),.....the best way to do that is buy the deal with the M-1 filter included........pay for it.......turn around & RETURN the M1 filter for a credit.......then if the store doesn't have the Mann filter......buy a Purolator L25277.......when you open the box the filter says....Mann HU 718/5. It's the Mann Fleece filter.....at least it was a couple of years ago when I bought some......I have a box sitting in front of me right now with one in it.

Re: 0w-40
I'd find a different advance auto, mine had no limit to the filter cost/added monies thing. Also, look to see if an online order (with pick up at the local store) would not have any restrictions on the filter price (as it IS a MOBIL1 promo, not an advance auto promo), and about the taking back of the M1 filter, it is against the terms of the deal but if a store does it who's to say different? Reason why the online order thing was because the store did not have the filter in stock, it was a special order, and when you upchannel to a csu rep they have the power to make it happen without added cost. So, the advance auto deal you still get the 5.1qt bottle and a 20 buck (last I checked) filter, and the filter sure was a breeze to install (given many do not like the 'paper' filter though) it is a pretty good deal. Oh, you also can swap the filter for a filter of another vehicle you have (but the savings isn't as good). Lots of options, just take advantage of the oil deals!
