Cheapest Priced 5W30 Conventional Motor Oil ?

Is this cheap enough ? https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/super-...-oil-blue/6000202770319#find-in-store-section
Yes. You'd be hard pressed to find something cheaper, without rebates. The only time I found something cheaper is when Traveler Motor Oil at Tractor Supply goes on sale a few times per year. But if you're cool with rebates and they're available in your area, then Mobil1 or Pennzoil synthetics can be had for same or lesser price per quart/liter.
Although it could be even cheaper to just get the advanced synthetic Supertech (advertised to be good for 20000 miles, or 32000 kilometers) and just run it for double your normal OCI. Assuming you don't have pre-existing heavy oil consumption...
Our pep boys is closing and has the PB oil on clearance for $2.50/qt
I dont want synthetic oils !
Well, you’re going to have to start accepting them if you want an affordable oil. Straight conventional will soon be carried by boutique only brands a few years out. Most 5w30 conventional is a semi synthetic for years now from what information I’ve gathered.
Well you are out of luck. All oils now have some synthetic in them. If you get lucky you can find an SJ or SH certified oil. You also can get lawn mower oil from Briggs but that is all available now unless you go 10w30 or higher and some of 10w30 is a blend. Good luck on your search.
Harvest King for $9.49/5quart jug
Home Depot and Menards usually sell 5w30 Shell in a 5 quart jug for around ten bucks.
Most so called conventional oils are semi synthetics these days. The days of plain conventional oil are past.
LOL isn't that funny? You ask for low prices on conventional oils and people tell you how to get synthetic oil for cheap. I guess they are just trying to help, but not paying attention to your question...? This is BITOG after all
The Supertech conventional classic linked above by Robb. , the label says it is in fact conventional and not a syn blend. Probably your best option.
Castrol classic may be another option for you, but probably not cheaper than the Supertech.
I drive old 1980s Hondas... why would I want synthetic ? its just more prone to leaking !LOL isn't that funny?

You do know that most current synthetic oil base stocks are chemically identical to conventional ones, right?
Are you a chemist ? or you just believe anything people tell you or read ?
No I am not a chemist but I do have a minor in chemistry.
Group III base stocks are chemically similar if not identical in structure to "conventional" oil molecules. That's not what makes that type of synthetic better than a conventional.

Ask @MolaKule
The only advantage to synthetic oils is that they work better in extreme temps...and have alot more additives to achieve this... hence the cost differences... conventional and synthetic both get dirty at the same time...
