Something different at Walmart

[Stelth]

Found this on the shelf at Walmart. I am not making this up.

Not sure what the deal was, I checked and it was unopened.

That bottle is probably 10-15 years old. Did someone just return it?

Someone must have returned it and they just shelved it with the other Mobil and figure that someone will just buy it

Thats the good stuff! -58F PP!

woaw, the price for Mobil 0w20 here in Canada is almost 11$, your walmart price it at almost 7$

 

[Stelth]

I should have run it through the price scanner, but I didn't think of it at the time.

Well, to be fair, that's probably the only PAO on the shelf.

And it's $26 for the five-quart jug. We're spoiled.

That's why I buy all my oil in the U.S. now. Oil/car parts and beer are the 2 things I pretty much no longer buy here at home.
I live about an hour from the Michigan border.

Yeah and it figures it`s across the [censored] country!

My local K-Mart has a bunch of this and old Castrol Synthetic still on the shelf...

I still got a about 20 quarts of SL rated Mobil 1.

My local Meijer store has a bunch of super old M1 too. Nobody will buy it. Who ever stocks the oil always puts it back in the front but even someone who knows nothing about oil isn't dumb enough to buy the old discolored bottle over the new ones. Mostly it's the 10w30. I'd buy it if they were clearing it out but it's full price.

Yes, a complete VOA would be interesting, but not as much as a full gas chromospectography to show the actual basestock makeup.

Anyone have $25K in disposable income laying around??

Wal-Mart returns anything. Who knows what's really in there? It looks like someone tried peeling both labels as well.

Did you take that picture with your cell phone? That's a pretty good picture. What kind of cell phone is it?

Looks to be Samsung Galaxy Note.

 

[Tempest]

Good chance it fell behind something and was left there for years and was recently uncovered. "Put in on the shelf".

How'd you come to that conclusion?

.JPG files sometimes contain EXIF data which records these type of things. Some picture viewer/editor software lets you see that info. Digital cameras record stuff in there like what the exposure setting was, F-stop, and so forth.
