My local Ollie's has Wolf's Head 5w20 full synthetic for $2.99. I grabbed 8. I don't have any car that specs that weight but I can mix it with some 10w30 synthetic and that'll work for my cars.
Ollie's Wolf's Head 5w20 full synthetic
- Thread starter urrlord
- Start date
not really a stock up price imo.
$25 for 5qt of M1@walmart vs 20 for some old wolfs head in a grade you dont need at ollies?
also how is mixing 10w30 going to make 5w20 anything?
you will likely end up with 10w20
supertech full syn 5qt for 17.97
castrol edge advanced 5w30? is 23.97/5qt

What size
I had a brain fart. It's $2.99 a quart. Around here in central GA Wolf Head is not seen .
Weird, a oil I had never heard of but google tells me made by Amalie who has a big facility in town,
Sold at a store I have never been to but google also tells me there is one not too far away.
Who knew.
Too bad 30 weight is as thin as I go.

A little Wolf's Head history

Good old Pennsylvania brand Wolf's Head, still being made by Amalie in Florida. My can for recycling oil:

It used to be common at independent part stores and NAPA in MD, but I haven't since it in 20 years.
Like we used to see Dryden Oil Company Drydene that originated in Baltimore. It was everywhere in MD, but not any more.

In many years past it was considered a very good oil. I haven't seen it in a long time.
WH and Valvoline were the base-line at local/independent part stores here in VA. Early '90's I worked at a heavy truck place; Just about every petro product we sold was WH. Delivery came 2x week (Small truck from PA I think) and the sales rep was in all the time. My '66 Mustang ran on it for years.
Get a VOA done on it.
You might be thinking of Kendall and Amalie being from the same company. Which they were, in the '70s and '80s, having formerly been independents.
Similarly, independent Wolf's Head was acquired by Pennzoil in the '60s and operated separately. Some production processes were combined, but until the '90s Wolf's Head was sold through their own distributor network. At Pennzoil in the '90s, we were given a few Wolf's Head products to sell as lower cost alternatives. After the Shell buyout, the Wolf's Head name and symbols were sold off as it didn't fit Shell's "strategic vision."
