No more Motorcraft of any weight at my Indpls area Mart. More varieties of Mobil, Shell, and SuperTech on the shelves.
Same here, the MC is gone and the same day the Trop artic shows up. Plenty of motorcraft oil filters though.quote:

Can you guess who bought all of the FL820S filters???
Trop Artic is now being sold at the local Walmarts for $1.12 per quart. First time this oil has ever shown up locally.
The Trop Artic says Phillips 66 right on the label, but I would hesitate to say it's the SAME. If it is the same as the Motorcraft, $1.12 would be a steal.quote:
If so, Phillips 66 5W-30 GF-4 for $1.12 would be a great bargain. Or was the Phillips seen at Walmart SL?
That would be me.quote:

Well, this stinks! I count on Wal-Mart to sell me my 20-odd Motorcraft filters per year at 30% less than Auto Zone.quote:

This will actually hurt our local dealer. The Pennzoil quickie lubes stock Motorcraft and will gladly put it in for you. More business for them. Advance Auto also has the complete Motorcraft line. Guess they will have to make Motorcraft a dealer exclusive label to do any good. Doesn't make good business sense to me.quote:

I discussed this in another thread. Motorcraft has pulled their oil from Wal-Mart due to dealer pressure effective 2/1/05.
I bought all 10 of them from my local walmart yesterday. LOL. =)quote:

Um, I think this thread is like a year old...quote:

The Wal-Mart here specifies that you may request Motorcraft oil for your oil change (at the same price?). It seems to me they are promoting it. Could they be "pushing" it to get rid of it? They seem to stay well stocked on Motorcraft oil and seem to have expanded the shelf space for it.
