That's too bad, our local Walmarts are carrying it (Indiana). Goes to show that every Walmart doesn't stock the same thing.

A couple of people have mentioned Meijer, I checked their website, and their stores are scattered throughout IL, MI, IN, OH, and KY, they don't have stores out East. I have been buying our oil from Meijer lately as well because, not only do they have similar prices as Walmart, but Mobil honors the rebates that I have sent them with Meijer receipts. And they will do specials every once in a while, like buy a jug of Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 filter together and get them cheaper than purchasing separately. So, I haven't been buying oil from Walmart recently.

Orillys is about the same price and Advanced auto parts does not sell it and cant even order it and Autozone does not have it nor can order it

but look at Orilleys price

over 9$ a QT plus so 5 QT would be 45$ plus i didnt add tax
So I dunno what your saying its 22$ or 23$

To bad no Wallyword / wallymart has it in my area.

I cant even get it ordered / shipped to a store in my area

Also look at PEP BOYS PRICE

Its a lil cheaper then Napa but a very long drive for me.

No Walmart in Florida ?

Most of the Walmarts around here stock Maxlife full syn.
Meijer also stocks it, but you don't have any Meijer stores.
If you search the UOA forum, Maxlife full syn doesn't appear to be anything really special.
For the shelf price here of ~$25.00/jug, if I wanted a synthetic I'd probably use M1 or PP.
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably use Maxlife syn blend, either red bottle or Nextgen.
I've had good experience with both of these in various applications.
Finally, the only time you should consider buying oil from any parts chain is when they're running a special or clearance.
Their regular prices are just too absurd.

Yeah, that's a rip off. Regardless of where you choose to buy oil, the 5qt jugs are almost always going to be a better deal than 5 individual quarts. I was just at my local walmart yesterday and they had both Valvoline FULL SYN and Maxlife FULL SYN on rollback for $22.49 or so for a 5qt jug and the maxlife blend for $16.27 a jug. I don't bother buying individual quarts unless there is a really good sale and or rebate going on. If I were you I'd stick with 5qt jugs. If your wallmart doesn't have any full syn Valvoline, pick something else but don't pay $52 for only 5 quarts! Most if not all Full synthetic oils walmart carries in 5qt jugs are $25 or less and any of them would work just fine.

Well, it's true. That is quite a Canadian type price on synthetic. That's double what Imperial Oil sells Mobil synthetics for. Yeesh.
