Fedex tried to deliver a box from Walmart last month that contained 3 jugs of QS. Unfortunately for the driver I was home and outside when he stepped out of the truck with an oil soaked box. He got about 2 steps before I shut him down and told him to put it back in the truck since I was refusing it. The ensuing calls to Walmart were comical. This is after my last 2 orders of fluid film gallons went the exact same way. At this point I dont think anything liquid over 1 gallon is shipableFor the first time I ordered motor oil on line, because my local Wal-Mart was out of it. (Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-40). Never again. It arrived 3 days late. The boxes were all in good condition. Of the 3, 5 quart jugs, 2 were fine, the other was leaking. Luckily they had it in a zip lock bag, or it would have been a real mess.
The leaking jug had a crack at the bottom of the handle, at the parting line of the blow mold. It most likely was thrown, and when it landed the oil itself hydraulically caused the jug to split open.
I put the leaking jug into a garbage bag, and drove to my local Wal-Mart, and they promptly gave me a refund. No more mail order oil for me. It's just not worth the risk or hassle.
This morning I ordered a 5-quart jug of M1 EP 5W-30. I didn't need it as I have slightly more than 10-quarts of M1 on hand, and with my recent oil change, I've got a minimum of 18-months to go before needing oil. But, with the product supply apparently dwindling, and prices rising, it seemed like a good time to add a small cushion to my stash, such as it is.
.Another consideration is that I really have no place to store partially-filled oil containers - even one - other than in the trunk of the car.
The oil is stored in Sweetie's garage, and she wants no more of it. In fact, she "requested" that I remove 2-quarts of MaxLife ATF which I gave to her Son in Law.Shel, now I realize why you have no room for a quart of spare oil.![]()

Saw that Canadian Tire had a sale on Pennzoil along with a $10 mail-in rebate up to 2 jugs. Decided to try the Euro 0w30 next for my CRV. Heck this seems like a good deal given the Canadian dollar.
