On clearance.
They hardly have any oil in stock. Why would they put it on clearance??
That's insane, it was a really good deal at regular price (still is here).
I gave up stashing but if this goes to 15 bucks locally I'm backing up the car. I thought about loading some up at regular price just because it's too good to be true surely it's going to go away.

The winter rating is pretty irrelevant unless you are starting unaided below -35F. A good and inexpensive 504 00 oil available on Walmart.com is Castrol Edge LL which is a hair over $24/5 quarts.
I just found 4 5qt jugs at $9 ea, took them off the cart as they were stocking clearance. 2 other local stores show $15 and $16, rest full price.
Yeah, I’ll stick with M1 0w40 or CASTROL 0w40
Why is that? This one has Longlife-01 approval which the other two don’t. And at the price it seems a steal.
Shell announced internally shortly after acquiring Pennzoil-Quaker State that Pennzoil would be the brand that would be promoted, and that Quaker State would be sold at a lower price reflecting less promotion and advertising expense.
At least until 2016, when I retired, there were differences between virtually all PZL and QS products. A lot of money had been spent on infrastructure to facilitate this at the blending, storage and distribution levels. In comparison to this, the cost of changing a blend a small amount is pretty inconsequential. Large changes to blend very different grades happen every day, so no biggie.
In any case, it probably shouldn't be assumed SOPUS products are identical by information gleaned from VOAs, TDS, and MSDS. There's just not enough there.

Could someone post the Brickseek link? Thanks!
Found out in the Minneapolis area only certain Walmart's have it on clearance at the moment. Different stores also price the clearance quite differently. Found some 5 qt jugs for $12 and some for $8. They were also getting rid of all the QSUS HM flavors it seems as well.

QS EURO FS 5W40: $9/jug, $2/quart

I just picked up 4 quarts at $2 each, is this stuff going away already?
I am starting to wonder if SOPUS teamed with Wally's to dump off a bunch of SN Plus overstock, and now their moving on. I hope not.

Yeah that would be really interesting, probably go over as well as Valvoline Modern Engine haha. Didn't have the chance to take a pic at Wally World, so it's next in line after the Ravenol. Gonna try that this winter and see it actually makes a difference in starting, over a typical LL-01 5w-30/40.ravenol at walmart
