Bought a mobil 1 108a from walmart for my oil change. Im pretty careful when buying filters since people like to open them up and mess with them.

I know ill probably get roasted for this stupid question, but my old boss once said there is no stupid questions regarding safety . I was sitting in my garage the other night organizing my tools. Not far from me i have like 20 gallons of used motor oil sitting in open 5 gallon buckets. I don't...

I have a feeling its either that or a few cases were found at the local distribution center after being lost all that time and just bundled in and shipped in with the new stuff. Back when i used to work at target this would happen quite often we would get products that were supposed to be...

Look at the manufacture date on these pennzoil quarts i found at walmart Manufactured 2016 stocked right next the current 2025 pennzoil quarts. Guess they had some house cleaning recently and just put them on the shelf lol.
