Ollie's Wolf's Head 5w20 full synthetic

[urrlord]

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.

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.

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

I saw this oil several years back but it's not really anywhere I usually buy oil. I believe we got a new Ollies in the town over from me though. I need to get in there to check it out.

Good ole wolf's head used to get this in 5w-30 conventional in the early 2000s. the newer stuff is amalie same as stp and fram motor oil supplier and sure there are several other private labels.

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.

 

[daves87rs]

Surprised it is still around. Have not seen it in years.

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.

I've only seen it in gas stations in my corner of CO

 

[Zee09]

Was a staple in the 60s here in MD, DE, PA

I've got an old quart in the shed. Glad it's still around.

Get a VOA done on it.

I believe it was made by the same company as Kendal way back. Presently , its additive package isn't that impressive to me.
