Turn it off at red lights and when you're going down hills. 😁
No need to turn off your engine when you’re coasting down a hill because your injectors will already be shut off so you are not burning any fuel anyway. I have a few long hills in my regular route and it’s fun to see the instant fuel economy show 0L per 100km being used for a sustained period of time.
 
TROUBLE IN PARADISE:

Got an email from WM denying the refund previously agreed to in chat, because they have a picture of it delivered to my door step. Says the only option is to take it up with my credit card company. Will do!
I've greedily been down this path. There's only so much free oil you can realize out of WM's listing mistakes before their computer system shuts you down and insists on return-for-refund as the only resolution.

My "pickup from store" clerk actually spoke to the auto parts section stocker, who said, "oh no, if it was a three pack it would be priced higher." I showed the listing and the order on my phone and they insisted there was nothing they could do and would not admit the listing was correct/incorrect despite multiple points pointing to a case quantity. (photo, description, weight, MPN ending in -3). They all agreed, shrugged, and pointed me to CS to refund.

Those of you that convinced a CS rep to fulfill the quantity stated made out like bandits.

Those that got refund via chat and got to keep a few bottles, congratulations. Their system will not be so generous if you attempt to take advantage in the future.
 
At store pick up last night (a lot of confusion) they only gave me 1 jug. Through the chat with customer service, they refunded me the money for the 1 jug and allowed me to keep it. So I guess that was nice of them. In hindsight, I should have ordered 2 of the 3 packs. The stores argument was that they dont receive the 3 packs. Strangely the website only let me pick up in store.

Your results may vary
 
I call these deals "the dance of the idiots." I have done this dance a few times myself. Sometimes the dance pays off and you get a couple free jugs. The SKU always returns one jug. Maybe you get super lucky and the picking employee sees the description of 3 pack, but chances are very low for that. More often than not, you do the dumb dance and waste your time. Not worth it IMO.
 
Ordered 3-pack last night, got 1 jug delivered :( chatted with support via app chat and they fully refunded. Told him I would like missing jugs delivered, if not an option 2/3 of total as refund would be fine. Had this happen prior with 3-pack of 0w-16 oil, but they made me return 1 jug in store( maybe even fedex located inside WM, don’t remember already) and shipped correct 3-pack box.

Who be the idiot? Wm is the billion dollar industry making the mistake we’re not doing nothing wrong by making our purchase. It meant nothing to me to stop at wm to correct or return my purchase if they weren’t going to make good on it it’s a 10min ride and in my travels to picking up my kid. I’ll dance and strut on that. Don’t be sore we scored the deal.

I'm not sore at all. The dance worked for some. Good for whomever it did. I'm happy for them. I just won't engage in this because I've been on this site for quite a few years now and this same 3 pack scenario happens every few months. There's no surprise as to how its handled. Exactly what is happening here. Every time. The idiots are whoever is doing the dance. I've done the dance and wasted time. Will I ever dance again? Probably. And I'll likely even feel like an idiot afterwards. Such is life.

Hey I'm a bit bummed when I miss a deal as well.

But I don't write multiple paragraphs in separate posts about how people who got the deal are stupid for trying.

If you hate the YMMV
If you hate the thrill of the deal hunt.
...Why even post here?... Multiple times?

Real answer.....
You didn't even try to get the deal that you see others getting, and inside you're secretly mad at yourself and you wish you had tried. But you didn't.
And the only way you can make yourself feel better is by calling people stupid.
 
it really isn’t a dance. The Walmart sales ad is not ambiguous whatsoever. The listed MPN and part number has a -3 at the end which indicates the box mobil ships 3 5qt jugs in. Additionally when I’ve bought M1 0W-40 in 3 packs online I received it in the Mobil box. Walmart is no stranger to selling it this way.

They’re just simply not honoring an advertised price.

I would not consider this a "deal". To me a "deal" is AAP dumping a top-tier full-syn for $xx a jug. This is a retailer's bot messing up on a posting and some people leveraging an angle. Are they stupid? Probably not. Wasting their time? That is a personal decision, particually on pleading your case to get an outcome you know the retailer did not intend. Nomex suit now on. ;)
