It certainly is. I don't consider it devious; they're just 5 U.S. quarts. It also makes life easier for Walmart Canada. 4.73 L jugs are always on special. When they're in, they're on special. 5 L jugs are almost always full price. That way, Walmart doesn't have to play with pricing. It also makes life easier for a vigilant customer. Grab the right jug, and you get a special, advertised or not.

They are not stupid, they saw VW group's a$##^%^#@. They know people have oil analysis done on vehicles and run their products on cars ranging from beaters to Bentley's, and buy it for the warranty claim it makes. Exxon would never risk their reputation or the legal repercussions in the US or Canada. But hey if you buy that, I got a golden tower for sale in NY you might be interested in. It's beautiful. Believe Me.

It's not what you know, it's what you can prove. Good luck going up against those two giants, you basically as they say, wouldn't "get a word in edgewise". As for putting Mobil1 in a Bentley, not going to happen.

Why not? Bulk Bentley dealer oil is Castrol Edge Professional 5W-40.

Arguably Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 would be an upgrade.

You are correct roofless but I was speaking about my personal choice, not a fan of Mobil1 that's all.

It's just buying power. WM buys a million quarts every three months. AA and Pep Boys maybe a few hundred thousand. Who's going to get the deal ...
