Makes Motorcraft filters even more value for money!
they were still at the origonal price last time I was there, but the fact that they moved their cheap oil up to 88cent a quart and now have C on the bottom instead of wpp is sucky too.
Digital2k2 what does the C mean on the bottom of the bottle mean? The new ones sort of resemble the Mobil Drive Clean bottles. Suppose Mobil is supplying Super Tech now?
If it is Coastal,it is now Warren-Unilube that owns the Coastal name.
This is NOT the same Warren of the Warren Distribution/Warren Performance products that does/did make Super Tech oil nor are they associated in any way.
Warren Unilube can be found at www.warrenunilube.com
I thought Walmart was always "cutting prices"????
Holy cow, I just can't understand why people that will happily pay $4+/quart for Mobil 1 will complain about a 10c increase in the price of the filter. That might cost you, what, about 40c extra this year for oil changes? I know - maybe we should all boycott Wal Mart until they drop it back... that'll show 'em...
Frankly, a 10 cent price increase in the cost of an oil filter ought to not be a surprise given increased energy costs this summer.
Geez, if 10 cents is gonna break the bank, go to AutoZone and buy the $1.49 Champion Labs-made "Valuecraft" oil filter...
Is this 'ValueCrap' filter a Stupertech with a different name? or different altogether?
I noticed the $2.07 price tonight too in central Indiana. However, my '93 Caprice takes a ST30, which Wal*Mart has on the clearance shelf for $1.25! I'll be grabbing up the rest of them next week.
HA! Even those "Valuecraft" are $1.99 now, well at least by the Autozone near me.
I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and checked on some of their ST oil.The 20W-50 qt. bottles have a C on the bottom.The 10W-30,5W-30 have the WPP.
They didnt have any qt. bottles of 10W-40 on the shelf,it may be changing too.
The bottles and gallon jugs have not changed shape or anything,they are still blue.
The gallon jugs of 10W-30 also have the WPP.
I didnt check the gallon 10W-40 or any of the others.
I also forgot to check on the ST filters.
I was at Autozone a week ago and bought one of the ValueCraft filters for $1.49,might as well give them a try.
It's all BITOG's fault. All this talk about how great Supertech filters are has driven up the demand
Huh, stock up to save $.10 each, or about 5%?
You must be kidding, right?

And they raised the price of an oil change right across the board as well.
SuperTech from 11.88 to 13.95
Featured Oil (Castrol, QS, PZ depending on loc) from 14.95 to 16.95
Full Synthetic to 31.95 from 29.95
They will allow you to substitute your own filter if you don't want the much maligned (in BITOG) Fram, and will reduce the price $1.88. That's what I always do...take in my AC/Delco and let them do the rest while I watch.

I was in the local WM Sat. night,the ST filters are now $2.07 here too.
I am considering switching to the Purolator made Adv Auto Total Grips.I have used the TG before and cut it open after use,it was very well constructed.
Considering the TG are only $2.48 in my area,that is not a big price difference.
I have nothing against the ST's,I do however wonder about their upcoming availability.
