Mobil1 3 pack, 5 quart at Walmart

I'm sorry, it's not your math that's wrong. it's also your reading comprehension.

Let's break it down:

> My Camaro takes 10 qt. So buying two would be 3 OCI.

Camaro takes 10qt (per OCI),
so Buying two (two boxes of 3 packs, the topic being discussed here) yielding a total 30qts
would be 3 OCI (each OCI being 10qt, being 30 qts total, for 3 OCI).

Better check yours.

Two 3 packs is 30qts. He says he uses 10qts per OCI, therefore 3 OCIs

Oooo dogies, that some fancy ciphering Jethro

Two "3 packs" = 10?

Better check your math.

I use 2, 5 quart jugs for an oil change. 2 x 3 (pack) is = 6.
6/2 = 3 (Oil Change Interval).
I do not need the math lesson. Go ask Exon why they put them in 3 packs. I would prefer 4 packs.

Given that the 3x 5Qt box has gone on sale for $24 a few times before, yeah, you can definitely beat that price.

I think that was a price mistake, but ya great price. I got like 15, 5 quart jugs of Castrol 5w20 EP for 12$ back in 2021. Gonna try and sell them soon because all my cars take 0w40.

Wait, if two OCI equals 30 quarts for that vehicle, how old is the bus driver?

Same as the van driver - works two jobs …

And many vehicles take 4, 4.5, or 5 qts.

Buying three packs does not evenly fit. Nor does a three pack fit an 8qt. vehicle.

Okay and? They could buy 3 packs to stock up when prices fall.

15qts gets you a lot closer to 16qts than 5qts does.

I run 0W-40 and saw this earlier. Not sure how accurate it is, but the pic in the ad of the reverse of the bottle shows API SN. The bottles I bought last week are SP, and were $3 more.

It's not what the pic says. I bought a 3 pack of Euro 0-40 a couple weeks ago strictly because the pic of the bottle showed it as being pre SP...it was SP when I got it.

Why does anyone sell anything in a "3 pack"?

I'm guessing it has to do more with the logistics of getting it to you than anything else. I buy the 12Qt "garage box" when my local store has them (which isn't often) but I always have some odd number of containers because I have two cars that take 5Qts, two 6s, one 7 and one 8.5

Yeah this. It's what the box fits and is the largest unit comfortably carried by everyone in the chain (under 40 lbs or thereabouts.)

Walmart made a big deal about coming out with a slightly longer semi-trailer that takes another row of pallets, so they look at this stuff better than any other retailer on the planet.

21.96 a jug that's pretty good.

It's not too far off paying regular WM price combined with Mobil's current rebate offer. Without the hassle or shenanigans.

However, if one were to try to submit for the rebate on the 3-jug box lot, it might cause the examiners' heads to explode, judging by how they've handled things this year.

I ordered a box, thanks. I run the 0w-40 in my Nissan.
