Went to pick up a part at this hole the wall auto parts store near my house, they had 2 pallets of cases of 5w and 10w30. The girl at the counter said they are on clearance from their supplier so her price was $2 a qt. I bought a case of 5w and 10w. I think this syn blend should be good for 5K OCI. Your thought?
 
$2 a quart isn't "clearance"

You can get maxlife (a syn blend) for $15.88 minus a $10 rebate and $3 coupon (walmart match from kmart) right now.

But, yes, that oil is fine for 5k or more.
 
Staring TBN at 7.1 is a bit weak. Though only way to see how it holds up is to run it and do a UOA. Pennzoil Platinum is currently available all of 2016 for $2.49/qt after rebate. M1 was $2.17/qt last month. Full synthetics are routinely available for $2/qt.

I would argue "clearance" is the out-the-door price, without the hassles of rebates and price matching.
