Supertech oil hasn't gone up in price. And I saw that some Valvoline conventional was on special at Walmart.
I think another reason is the season. In summer, reducing the price of oil may increases sales since it is possible to change oil in that weather. The temporary price reduction may persuade people to buy and change oil when they might not have. In winter, nobody is going to buy oil if they don't need to. So why drop the price? Those who must change oil in winter, either at home or a garage, will buy at full price.
Logical. BUT why not just buy FAR oil and start a stash like a true BITOG'er?
