I've narrowed down my 2 options for an oil change to walmart and a fleet tire place. WalMart uses Castrol High Mileage Conventional Oil ($35) and Fleet Tire uses Kendall Synthetic Blend($27.50). I've decided that I have to go to one of them today but I wanted to hear you guys out one final time...

I'll call up a walmart with an auto center and ask them, thanks!
The local ones i go to doesn't have it but theres one a little south of me that has an auto center.
