Post your latest oil or filter purchase

5 quart bottle Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w20 and a Microgard Select filter for my 2014 V6 Accord. O Reilly's is running a decent deal $38.99 for both the oil and the filter. Only a couple bucks cheaper than getting the oil on Amazon but I don't have to sweat shipping damage etc. this way.

Buying it a tad early in case oil prices spike a bit.
 
While a couple months ago already. I was planning to change the oil and filter in the 2006 Trailblazer 4.2L. Have a Fram Ultra and 5L of Co-op Elite 0w30, full PAO. It will get a topup of leftover Mobil 0w30 from the last change. Its around 16,000km on this index so I'll wait for warmer, dryer weather.
 
Pre oil-armageddon stock up - includes two more 5 qt jugs of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30 not on the pictures + 3 OEM Toyota oil filters.

This week I bought two 6 quart boxes of 5w30 Havoline ProDS Lifelong High Mileage Full Synthetic from local Walmart for $28 per 6 qt box.

I later learned that Amazon sells Lifelong for $25 per 6 qt box (after getting 4% discount for using my Amazon Prime credit card and 6% discount for selecting Amazon Day shipping).

I also learned that Sam's Club sells Lifelong for $23 per 6 qt box, but I don't have a Sam's Club membership.

I watched a Youtube video where a guy measured how much oil is in his 6 qt box of Havoline High Mileage Synblend. He measured 7 quarts. He didn't know if there's always an extra quart or not. His video is below.

When I have time I will measure how much oil is in my 6 qt boxes of Havoline Pro DS Lifelong High Mileage Full Synthetic.

Got in a case of AMSOIL Signature Series to cover me for 2027, so I avoid whatever price increase or supply shortage may occur later this year.

At worst, I have it on the shelf up to an extra year. No big deal there and I secure an excellent oil for yearly oil changes; which my used oil analysis have already validated as repeatable. :) 👍
 
I went to Walmart near my work expecting to see a very sparce selection of motor oil, but to my surprise the shelf was well stocked. Considering the situation in the middle-east I bought three 5-quart jugs of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 and one 5-quart jug of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30. With this purchase and what I already had on hand my motor oil inventory is in a good place for the foreseeable future.

Well stocked here and several on Rollback …
 
4 Walmarts around me are out of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30, Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30. So I tried to order online and they're unavailable or 1-2 left.
 
Bought 6 quarts of Mobil 1 5w30 ESP for my 2.7L EcoBoost F150. I’m not usually a Mobil 1 guy but it seems to be a fan favorite around here. I know the 0w30 is supposed to be slightly better but my OCD doesn’t like the thought of running something thinner than the recommended grade (I know, I know), especially as we head into summer and warmer weather.

My Walmart was very well stocked today as well. Still plenty of fram filters too.
 
Here's part of my stash, including the 4 Mobil 1 Truck and SUV and 6 Valvoline Restore and Protect I bought yesterday. I have more HPL in other closets and ~15 qts of AMSOIL Signature Series in 0W-20 and 5W-30 flavors. There are 10 Pentius UFXL7317 and a dozen Carquest Premium 84356 oil filters. Several months ago I bought two cases of Amsoil Upper Cylinder Lubricant, thinking I was going to quit using Shell Premium and start using Shell regular 87 octane and add a bottle at each fill-up. Changed my mind and only using Shell Premium at this time.
