Any one know of a low cost source for 5W-40 synthetic oil?

 

Wal-Mart is most likely source on a regular basis. O'Reilly's when it's on sale. And you can get the 0W-40 European Formula at both locations also, which is the preferred oil per M-B. I'm referring to Mobil 1 products.

I've also found Castrol Syntec 5W-40 at Advance Auto on sale occasionally. This brand is recommended by VW for my 06 New Beetle and is specifically listed as a suitable oil for the 229.3 M-B spec.

 

I spend $60 for 8 quarts of AMSOIL 5w40 from my neighbor who is a dealer. If you can find 4 or 5 qt jugs of Mobil 1 0w40, then that will save you money.

 

Check out this thread,

Mobil 1 sale

Maybe check there for 5w-40?

Good luck,

Eric

 

Thanks guys for your help. Found a carton of 6 quarts of 0W-40 at Wally World. Wikk keep looking for more.
