I did...near as I can tell, the bulk oil was exactly as advertised. (Valvoline 5w30 conventional)
come get it changed where I work and do one lol.

Wasn't there someone saying that bulk oil is not exactly the same as bottled, even thought they are the same product?

No. Bulk oil and bottled are exactly the same. They really cost about the same too. When I ran a shop, the price for bulk oil was really very similar to bottled oil. The reason for using bulk is convenience and not having to dispose of hundreds of empty bottles.
