With crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, and jet fuel prices climbing almost every day (well, they were down a bit yesterday) anybody care to venture a guess as to why is there has not been a corresponding increase in the price of motor oil?
Don't you have like 52 litres of GC on your shelf? I guess one can never have enough! lol Still can't find it around Middle TN anywhere. Guess I'll be stocking up on M1.quote:

If the price of crude stays high the price of motor oil will increase. It's pricing is just not as volatile as the price of fuels that are burned in large quantities and need constant replenishment. As new batches come into the market you will most likely see increased pricing. And in the case of Wally World they are most likely to mark up their existing stock bought at the lower prices. After all Wally World is for the little "workin" guy.![]()

Thanks for the tip! Free is good. Even if it's a group 3 oil, it's still free.quote:

I've lost track of the exact number now, because I bought more recently but then I used 5 of them on Sunday to do my oil change. I've rearranged my oil shrine to make more room now anyways.quote:

I think so. I haven't looked in the last couple of weeks, and they've shuffled the bottles into different locations, but I'm sure that old stuff is still there, buried in the back now probably. I often move them back to the front, but they still don't get bought, I guess the yellowish grey tinge on the bottle turns a lot of people off.quote:
Totally off topic...is that M1 15w-50 Advanced formula still collecting dust at your WalMart? Just curious...
Why would the group IV/V motor oils go up? Is it due to carrier oils, additive costs, or just taking advantage of a free ride, so to speak.quote:
