Don't know what's going on but Advance Auto Parts has a variety of oils on sale. I picked up Fram Mercon V for 4 bucks and differential oil for only 2 bucks.

The for sale oil is behind the counter. I saw the prices online then went to the store myself.

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...
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…
 
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.

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...

I stopped into the local one in Texas -
- but they were all still full price.
Maybe the clearance is a regional thing only?

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.

Sadly our fram is that same price but for high mileage and conventional which is meh

I picked up some GTX high mileage SEMI SYNTHETIC for $14.95/5qt which seems like a better choice over conventional.

Some have found 10w30 Pensoil premium synthetic for the same price but my store has zero penzoil

Picked up 15q as my stash is low but the price really is meh for the type of oil to stock up a lot.

Walmart has empty filter shelfs and a ton of unlabeled fram on the top shelf but zero clearance

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

If that fram stuff was <$2 I would go for it, I doubt dropping a line to the store would make any difference
