I buy my oil from a local auto parts store that is slightly more expensive than walmart when it comes to the qt bottles but absolutely cant touch the price walmart has when you compare to the 5 qt jugs. I feel just fine not having to fight the crowds at walmart or hear the cashiers complain back and forth about vacation time, brake times, how so and so is lazy ect. They know more about cars and the products they carry at the auto parts store I go to and they are very friendly so I love it. I suggest that you all give a local business a chance.
We have a 24hr Walmart here so when you go at 11pm you have the entire store to yourself. All the "local" businesses are major chains AAP, NAPA, Autozone. All are mass retailers. The local guy who has his small Mom & Pop auto parts store doesn't carry "that stupid synthetic oil" and wants $8qt for Wolf's Head.

SO all bets are off with him.
