Time to stock up!

mikemc · Feb 21, 2003

My local wally world is carrying Chevron Supreme 5w30 and I bought some more today while shopping for other items. It seems well reguarded here and the tech sheets look good and the price is too good to be true. I now have 14 quarts in the garage!

The Wally Worlds around here have been out of 5W30 for months. Everytime they get some in I snarf up the whole lot. [Big Grin]

Is that "snarf" or "scarf". [Big Grin]

I am almost tempted to try the Chevron myself. That would be dfficult for me - but not impossible.

I'm not above "scarfing" but my recent moods are more in line with the lost are of "snarfing." [Big Grin]

At $1.08 per quart, I figure Chevron isn't making any profit on this oil ... so as a stockholder, I feel I should have it all instead of someone esle. [Wink]

I thought the "stock-up" was to beat the increase in oil prices! I'm certainly watching the Sunday ads... [Big Grin]

Thanks for the heads up. Since I've not found the 5qrt jugs at Wallyworld I may have to go for this. However, they don't have the 0w-40 at Kmarts. I noted that they are trying to clear out the old Peneske oil filters at $2 each now. However someone posted that he'd cut one opened and the media was very fragile like it was very old stock or some other concern. Not sure I want to take a chance on these Peneske's filters if that is the case. I went by the Kmart that is closing yesterday and noted that their Peneske filters were "20% off" for clearence which was still more than the store across town that is remaining open.

Has anyone noticed that Kmart does not have Pennzoil motor oil on the shelf anymore?

oilcanboyd · Feb 23, 2003

well i saw this guy at kmart but 10 cases of pennzoil high mileage 10w-30. but i seen a lot of regular pennzoil on the shelf.

slickracer · Feb 23, 2003

I've been to 2 Kmarts and they have no Pennzoil on the shelf except gear oil, grease, and 2 cycle oil

I thought they limit one rebate per case per household. My Citgo Supergard ($9.80USD/case with $4.80 rebate) said that. If not, lucky you! [stretch]

14 quarts.... I'm up to 9 cases. This oil is a bargain. I had six cases plus several quarts and then I found the Chevron/Texaco Havoline (same stuff) at K-Mart for .99 per quart and I snarfed three more cases. I believe that "snarf" is the technical term. If you start drinking this stuff then "scarf" may be more appropriate. [Cheers!]

I thought they limit one rebate per case per household. My Citgo Supergard ($9.80USD/case with $4.80 rebate) said that. If not, lucky you! on the Exxon rebate form, it said three rebates per household. I can use my g/f address for the other three. cheap quality oil is a definite must. I'm afraid with the gas prices shooting up that oil bottles will go up soon. The bargains are there to be found. [Big Grin]

H-m-m-m-m. Not here. "Scarf it up" would be correct. "Snarf it down" would be to consume something. [Wink]

Is there a current rebate from Citgo? The one on their website is valid through Dec,2002 only. FYI, the local PepBoys have it on sale for 88¢/qt this week.

Mike Thompson · Feb 26, 2003

Are there no Costco/Price Clubs around there? Here in SoCal Costco sells Chev Supreme for $11+ a case of 12. Mike

Time to stock up!
