What if you had an engine that held 6 qts. of oil. Then, what if you came across the last 5 qts. of 5W30 PU for a super low price and had to choose between a qt. of 5W20 or 10W30 PU to make the 6th qt. Which one would you choose, the 5W20 or the 10W30?

I posted this 2 days ago, originally titled, "What If....." The reason was, my local WM was going to sell me the remainder of the PU @ $2.50 per qt. There were 25 qts. left on the shelf, of which 5 were 5W30. The rest were 5W20 and 10W30. That's why I asked the Q? about which wt. to add to make the 6th qt. that I needed for my engine. I bought 6 qts. and my cousin bought the rest, 19 qts. I had to wait until today, Wed., for the automotive mgr. to be at the store, so she could sell it to me at this price.
So, let the drooling begin!

Woohoo! Nice... since that is at least 10k oil I'm thinking you are set for a good while.

I am putting 5w20 Ultra in my wife's KIA this week that I got on Wally's clearance, but I didn't get that good of a deal. Well done sir!

3-5K OCI with PU (or did I misunderstand)? 10-12K would be a better number, thereby extending your OCI and reducing your cost and time spent changing the oil.

Agreed since I do 7-8K on conventionals. You do longer.
 
Didn't keep the receipts, but when the Navy Exchange put PU on clearance a year or two ago, I bought 8 cases (not all at once...give the other guys a chance...) for $1.98/QT

Never thought I would ever see a price like that again...but mine was SM being cleared out...

Nice find!

I was j/k about the 3-5K mile OCI. I just like to rattle the hardcore 10K Milers Members Club.

I will probably go 8K minimum.
