AutoZone closed it out for prices varying from $0.01 / qt (yep - one cent ) to $1.00 / qt. Bought all they had whenever and wherever I found it. Big Lots had it for $1.99 / qt. Bought all they had whenever and wherever I found it. Advance Auto Parts closed it out around here. Can't remember what I paid for the syn there, but I bought all the syn, semi syn, and hi mileage I could find around here.
