The app shows 25% off in store clearance today. YMMV

I never buy oil in auto parts stores anymore. Their sales prices rarely beat WalMart which is where I buy all my oil, either in store or online. I do buy tools as needed in auto parts stores, even though I could get most of them cheaper at HF, but there's no HF near my house.
would you guys confidently use this motor oil for a 5k OCI on a rebuilt engine? 1ZZ-FED
Oil Change history of the rebuilt engine:
10 miles - after the initial startup when all the fluids were added and after a short test drive.
1000 miles - break-in oil change
1700 miles - break-in oil change
2950 miles - break-in oil change
5000 miles - this is the oil change in question.
Driving conditions for the 5000 miles: severe(maybe even extreme as I drive fast and leave it in cruise control even for any long highway uphill sections) for most, if not all of the 5k miles, and it will be near southern California/Arizona region therefore the temperatures can easily be in the 90-105 range.

absolutely. this is where a HDEO thrives. high load is what it’s formulated for.
Same here
for me it keeps switching between 16.95 to 12.95 I just have to randomly keep trying...
possibly I keep switching between my phone internet and Wi-Fi and different devices, super annoying as in-store it is 12.95 here in Laramie, WY.
Good news, the delivery stock is 2024 production...much newer than the local store stock.
Still carries the API SN Plus spec that addresses LSPI. While not as robust as API SP, I would have no problem running this in a DI engine.Good stuff for older vehicles.
Everything I service is 2014 and newer plus Di so no diesel spec oil for me.
Has anyone been able to actually purchase this oil at the (now lower) clearance price? ($15)
I went to my local AA tonight. There were no clearance stickers on shelf (no surprise) but the 0W20 Truck and SUV range up for for at least $23+ (I don't remember the exact price as I did not buy it).
I initially thought it was ringing up for a non-clearance price but searching for this oil on their website suggests the regular price is $38.99 regular price. So maybe the $23+ was last week's clearance. I don't know. I just know the 0w20 wasn't $15 as the screen shot above suggests.

The system of record is the scanner at the register. Website and shelf labels are just suggestions.
stopped by the helpful AAP and was scanned by same employee who has helped me each time I go in (about once a week) and the oil is still the price it was when I went the first time having never dropped below that $27 and change number with the red label...he manually checks it each time and apologizes each time I visit...apparently no one is buying it as it appears the same number of 5 quart jugs remain...
I visit this store (I've been to others without luck as well, either no stock or no lower price) when I go to see my brother about once a week and it is by his house...

I downloaded the app but had no luck finding this portion with the 25% off on clearance items...even with that 25% it would still be a touch too high for me to buy any...hopefully your post helped others though...

If you open the app, scroll down to offers, and click view all, it shows there. It also shows on the website. I was unsuccessful getting the 25% off yesterday, it did not ring up, and the clerk said corporate had not sent any emails about the clearance sale.
I did get 25% off some already marked-down diehard clearance tools.
Sadly no further markdowns on M1 T&SUV, but inventory is slim anyway.

Correct. I brought the jug up to the register and started the purchase. Once it rang up ,at the $23 (or more) price, I cancelled the order.
I referenced the on line price only to see what the "regular" price of the oil was.
A few bottles of this from 2017 were SN only, but everything that arrived by delivery was 2023 stock SN+. It appears the SN+ designation change happened in 2018 for this oil.Good stuff for older vehicles.

Based on UOA, this is pretty "lite" oil. XSP VOA and XSP UOA (I can't find any more recent VOAs for XSP 5w-40.) 1200 Ca, 800 P, 800 Zn, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to use it in my DI car if the grade was appropriate. That said, deals abound, so opportunities exist to stockpile according to preferences.
