It depends on the store. Bought some today, shelf price was $5.19/qt. I used the Pep Boys coupon and got it for $3.99/qt. One of the other AZ I checked had it at $4.99/qt, but it was non-GC.

Gotta fill the empty spaces of 5qts GC & 6qts Synpower used in the recent ocis for my two rides in the past week....to be replenished with GC.

They will price match, but they may give you a hard time about it.
First, the match must be done to a local competitor. I can't do Kragen's match because there are none around, but there are Pep Boys.
Also, the first store I went to the clerk did not know how to do the price match. The second I went to the store manager said they can not price match oil, the register will lock them out if they try (which is a bunch of crap). I went to a 3rd store, which said they could do a price match, and they only had the M05 bottles (I am not sold on the amber yet). I went back to the first one and the store manager was there and he did it no problem, bought all 12 of the GC they had, left 2 M01 bottles on the shelf. I have 1 more coupon and 2 more stores to check out.
Where is the coupon from? Local newspaper or what?

Yes, it was in the Sunday paper. The Syntec is also in the flier at Pep Boys.
Well, time for another acquisition weekend! In search of the GREEN!!

I tried to use a Pep Boys $3.99/quart coupon (I've got two coupons) but the manager said he wouldn't price-match. Something about "fixed" oil prices. Oh-well, I'm going to try a different AutoZone tonight.

I took a Pep Boys coupon (Syntec $3.99/quart) to AutoZone today and was able to have it price matched. I got 5quart M05 and 1 quart M04.
