Any reason not to use Carquest full synthetic?

The only reason I can think of not to use it, and the reason I don't use it, is I'm always able to score something from one of the majors for less. The scores I got from the majors is not only cheaper, but better, in my opinion.

The STP FS 5W30 is actually shown as having 3 possible suppliers and there is a 4th one just for 5W20.

Perhaps there is still some around PA area. I had my local AAP order from other stores, mostly the Mobil Super Syn and HM, saved a lot of driving around. Not too many people interested in the Carquest 10w-40 so there was plenty of that in stock for a while.



Well, was not any in mechanicsburg area or Carlisle PA area AAP's. I'll hit the ancient AAP near the Autozone near where the new gf lives. I have not saw any carquest full Syn Hm 10w40 yet

Probably sold out at those locations.. Ask your local AAP to look it up and see if in stock at other stores in the area, if so have them order for you.

Hopefully, it will come up on clearance as prices can vary between stores, i.e. you pay the ordering store's current listed price, even if the other locations are blowing them out on clearance, just the way their system is set up
