$10.49/ qt regular price for a synblend? No wonder it didn't sell.

The only people still buying 10w40 want something with zinc in it for their classic car, or the cheapest swill for an oil burner. This stuff missed its marketing mark.
 
Thanks! Picked up 25 qts between 3 stores. Let’s see if it becomes available tomorrow!
 
OK just looked around other stores on my way. Total ended up buying 67 quarts for $120.13 with tax. That is $1.79 per quart, $8.96 per 5 quart jug, or $10.76 per GM truck/car oil change.

Good timing too, as I am sure I will go through a quite a few very very short OCIs while building/breaking in this new rotating assembly on my 5.3 LS.

Just submitted the rebates as well. This could be an amazing score.
 
Took a little drive today, picked up 63 quarts from various stores. The last 4 quarts are being shipped; free since the order was over the threshold. Fortunately the order total, even if picked up in store, counts towards the threshold for free shipping.

I will post more pics and detailed info later, once I put it away. But from quick glance, some is SM, a lot of SN, some SN plus and even some SP. Also a few are some old packaging/bottles.

Should be a fine swill in the cammed 6.0 Tahoe or the Suburban.

Hope I'm not clogging up this "Promotion/sales" thread with some of my thoughts...

Got the entire GTX HM 10W-40 stash sorted out and put away. Sitting next to its SOPUS, ExxonMobil and Ashland brotherin. Organized it by oldest to newest, left to right. I have 4 more coming via shipping.

Some interesting metrics and pics below.

SM, SL, SJ | 11 bottles | 11/04/2009, 05/17/10
SN, SM, SL, SJ | 30 bottles | 07/18/13, 05/06/16, 04/07/17, 01/11/19, 07/03/19, 11/13/19, 01/28/20, 07/03/20, 07/27/20
Exceeds SP, SN Plus, SN, SM | 22 bottles | 06/12/21, 06/02/22, 09/08/22, 03/09/23

One of my odd bottles out, the 2013 one, says "Part Synthetic" on the front versus any other Synthetic reference being Synthetic Blend. The Oldest of the bunch GTX HM (2009/2010) doesn't say synthetic at all on the bottle.

Last thing, before some pictures, when I was going to college for my Associates degree, probably 2009-2010, I used to drive a 1994 Buick LeSabre. Long before I was a member on here. I used to always buy Castrol GTX High Mileage 10W-40 and a Fram Extra Guard filter and do my oil changes. Some of this oil I bought, may have very well been on the same shelves I pulled from way back then... What a nostalgic thought!
