I go by Iffy Lube & Valvoline oil change quite a bit.

The Iffy Lube guys (4 of them...!) are usually empty & out swinging signs on the corner trying to bring business in!!

I agree. You'd think the cost issue would lead them to research their 3K habit online, then run into this place!

 

[OVERKILL]

You buggers are freaking me out. I just went and grabbed two 5L jugs of Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40. The store only had two jugs left. It's still $42.00 right now.... Same price as when I did the oil change on the Townie 2,000Km ago........

This leaves me with 10 Donaldson SYNTEQ filters and 15L of Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck CI-4 at the house now.

 

[globey]

Good thing I'm still sitting on .99 cent qts of Exxon Superflo and 9.99 gallons of Synpower. Not to mention those .01 cent gallons of store brand oil I was lucky to find last year.

 

[chet2]

yeah that was a good deal, 2 jugs for 26...individually Castrol High Mileage was 18 though

 

[chet2]

overkill you guys are really getting screwed up there

 

[chet2]

chevro i had them scan the 2 jug box of Castrol High Mileage, it was $26...this is in NH...a good deal...one of the few now

It's odd all the pricing inconsistency at Walmart these days. I thought they used some sort of central computer for that?

$26 for the HM is $5 cheaper per jug for you than it is for me, which is pretty darned significant IMO. Buy, buy, buy!

Yeah and once they have your car they seem to find lots of fluids (and other work) that's needed.

Imho they ought to put JL out of business!

According to the trade press, Lubes and Greases, it will continue to go up until about February because the suppliers of base oil don't believe the downward trend of oil will last.
