How close are you to the border. In your case. I would probably buy it by the 55 barrell drum. I am pretty sure you could order it by the case.
I go to Mexico all the time. WalMarts everywhere.....?????
No offense there is no "best" oil and additives are NOT everything. My vote is QSGB or MS5K. Probably get flamed for saying it
We could name lots of readily available oils in other parts of the world but it might help if you told us what the dominate brands are and prices and then we can help you pick the best choice
Best affordable oil in Mexico ? Any name brand oil available at your local Walmart.
Maybe you should post a list of readily available oils for you guys. That wold be easier to work with.
LOL! Great point
Forumula Shell which was on special recently for $9.88 a jug at Home Depot. The local Shell gas station sells a quart of it for $5.99. Not sure the reg price at HD but it would be my first choice in the best affordable oil category.
We have no idea if he lives in a big city with lots of stores including Wal-Mart, or a tiny village out in Baja with one Pemex stop ...
There are good refineries in Mexico, but I don't know their local marketing labels...

I'd use Supertech red (high milage) and call it good.
The cheapest legit API SN GF5 oil.
Supertech, Mobil Super Quaker State or Castrol GTX are all fine if they are legit SN GF5 oils.

Go to your nearest Autozone and get Valvoline white bottle, or the Autozone brand.
The Autozone brand is made by WPP so it is good oil (same as the US Supertech). Their 10w30 high mileage is a very good option for most of the Mexico conditions.

PYB is hard to find where you're at? That's hard to believe, it seems to be one of the most widely available oils there is. Every gas station, grocery store, auto parts store has it here. I've traveled lots of states and every gas station I've stopped at had it as well.
But any of the big name oils are good. Mobil, Pennzoil, Valvoline, Castrol, pick whatever you like and run it. Both conventional and synthetic from them are top tier.
