Is there a better bulk price than SuperTechs $18/5qt?

[rijndael]

If you go to www.valvolineglobal.com you can bring the cost of Valvoline Advanced to $14.55 for 5 quarts. However you need to buy 4 20quart bay boxes and spend $291.57. In addition to the cost you need storage space for the boxes and a way to get the oil from the box to the engine.

I have a 10qt sump ... a 20 qt box sounds just fine!

they also have the restore and protect for similar price deal although ithink the 10% coupon doesnt work.

Costco’s Kirkland signature and Walmart’s super tech is probably the cheapest oil you’ll find out there. Granted the need of a Costco membership. Keep an eye out for NAPA Auto they’ll periodically run sales on their house blend rebadged valvoline.

Thanks to posts here I'm now saving money by buying super tech full synthetic oil, and I end up using 0W20 a lot, so I just bought 6x 5qt bottles from Walmart. The price is good, but with how much I'm now going through is it possible to save by buying in 5 gallon buckets from somewhere? I looked and couldn't find better than Walmart $18 per 5qt.

$15 per gallon delivered to your door.

$11.3 per gallon if you can do 5W-20

What makes Havoline better?

6qt boxes, free delivery over $35 and Havoline is good otc oil

 

[wlk]

That's a 5W30 blend. I need 0W20, which is full synthetic only and it's $29.

Still saving on 6qt boxes. Buy a larger box from wallymart, ST, or even Valvoline directly if you want a larger quantity.

The super tech one has been unavailable for a year or more. the price displayed on the out of stock listing is more than just buying a 5qt. and a 5qt is much more useful as most cars need more than 4qt.

Havoline box works for me cheap and two oil changes

ST is a no brainer!

Quaker state ultimate is a good oil at the best price at Walmart , I do not understand why people spend a lot of money on your vehicles and try to save only just a few dollars on oil while you buy coffee for $ 5 dollars ,go out to eat at crazy prices etc ,,buy a good/better oil like a reputable name brand like , Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Valvoline EP, Castrol etc, or other excellent boutique oils like Hpl ,Amsoil etc. and sleep well over your decision, taking care of your engine starts with a better oil and OCI & filter . some oils meet and some exceeds the current SP, GF-6A specs, and look for proper licenses and study the specifications, lab tests etc.

Super tech meets or exceeds the needed standards, that's been proven on here as well. For $5 sure I could have any common brand I want, but it's not truly better unless maybe if you spend more than that and get a premium oil with extra additives that aren't required. If I was concerned about super tech I wouldn't use it. If you think I shouldn't use it, then please show me why not to use it.

Kirkland can be purchased without a membership at a 5% increase. Free online shipping too. But with that 5% increase it goes from a dollar less than supertech to almost a dollar more than supertech.

Two oil changes out of a 6qt box of oil?

I mixed up with the Walmart brand

Supertech is fantastic stuff. Price and performance can’t be beat

Then super tech wins it

Apparently Costco also sells 4 packs of their oil, buying that even with the non member surcharge makes it about 80 cents cheaper, or $4 cheaper with a membership. So it looks like super tech wins unless you are willing to buy 4, which at certain times I would be.

Sorry if I missed it. What vehicles are the Super Tech going in?

 

[4WD]

Walmart has the 12 qt box might be cheaper

That’s as big as I have seen in ST - can’t find drums/pails on Walmart.com

I purchased around 6 months back 4-pk of 0w20, $69.11 shipped to the doorstep.

You can catch Kirkland oil on sale, which usually happens 2-3 times a year, and then its $15-16 for 5qt. You can stock up.

It doesn't really make a difference, But just regular vehicles. Honda Acura Subaru Ford e.t.c
