Doesn't mean I'd buy any of it.

Yep. And i'm going to stock up on the Mercon V. Right now this is the cheapest Mercon V you can get and it seems to have better reviews then Supertech and Motorcraft.Good deal on that gear oil
Premium Guard bought the Fram name for filters, at least. Fairly sure AAP just licensed the Fram name from First Brands to slap it on their house brand Carquest Amalie fluids-in fact, when they first used the Fram name, they LITERALLY slapped a Fram label on over the Carquest one! Surprised they aren’t doing the same thing now…Fram full syn 10W-30 is $3.65 a QT, picked up some for the lawnmower (which doesn't seem to need it):

Was told Fram was sold off and is being liquidated, can't believe no one is at least taking over the brand...
Does this mean Amalie is out of the generic AAP oil business? The Carquest jugs seem to be making a comeback at the Advances I've been in. EDIT:Whoops, looks like Argos is an AMALIE BRAND! The more things change...AA has replaced FRAM with Argos branded oil. FRAM is non-operational during First Brands bankruptcy. Several threads on here on FRAM, First Brands, Argos oil.
They told me the new Argos was an Amalie product as well.Does this mean Amalie is out of the generic AAP oil business? The Carquest jugs seem to be making a comeback at the Advances I've been in.
When I search Bellmead and Beverly Hills, the FRAM oil is showing clearance prices. At least 0W-20 and 5W-30. The BOGO is over everywhere I guess.I stopped into the local one in Texas -
- but they were all still full price.
Maybe the clearance is a regional thing only?
Makes me think of ARCO Graphite Motor Oil every time I see the name.ARGOS still sounds like a underwater bubble community. I know, I need to let this go.
Sadly our fram is that same price but for high mileage and conventional which is mehFram full syn 10W-30 is $3.65 a QT, picked up some for the lawnmower (which doesn't seem to need it):

I let a couple stores know I'll buy all the 5W-40 when they're ready to sell it for $2/qt.
