they hide the trop arctic at my walmart, on top of the shelf where all the gas/oil additives are and all along the top shelf of the orange wall of fram filters.
Its the opposite at our WM.
The Trop Artic is on the oil side sitting on the upper shelfs close to where the Super Tech oils sit.

Its not... not in the walmarts I go to in NJ, DE, PA, MD and the DC area.
I was out in Idaho Falls, ID last week, and noted that the wal-mart there carried it.

The Trop Artic is a new product at the local WM,it has recently started selling there.
wonder why the 5w-30 is cost more? i've been using it ,seems to be a good oil.
TropArtic here in So Cal Walmarts. I still have a few Dollar Trees where they are loaded with syn blends
Just picked up 5 5 quart Super Techs in Louisville last Saturday. Was 4.97 per bottle.
The 5qt jugs have went up in price here too.I think they are $4.97 also.
My local Wal-Mart is selling TA 5W-30 at $1.36. Dollat Tree still sells TA 10W-30 for a buck, comapred to $1.28 at Wal-Mart. However, the price for Motorcraft did went up from $1.92 to $1.98!
I have yet to see Trop Artic at my local Walmart however, I did purchase Kendall GT1 blend at Autozone for $1.79 per quart.
Speaking of cheap oil, I saw many 4qt jugs of Mobil Tri Syn, an SJ rated oil for $12/jug, so that makes it $3 quart. It was all 10w-30, and this was at Big Lots.
Not nearly good enough for me. I can't believe any SJ oil is going to beat the worst SM oil. I'm comparing the old M1 SJ oil to the SM Supertech Synthetic, that's priced 5 quarts at $11 and change.
If I was oil hungry I would've gotten some, but I'm fat with all my Havoline clearance purchases from Big Lots and Autozone.

Trop Artic dino and blend oils are now at Wal-Mart.
The selection is slim but it is there.
Also,Super Tech oil has increased by 10 cents and is now $1.07 a quart.

AND THAT'S A CONOCO/PHILLIPS PRODUCT? SAME AS MOTORCRAFT?
Yes, Trop Artic is a Conoco-Phillips product.

I don't think TropArtic is at Wal Marts everywhere. I never saw any near me. Last weekend I was in York PA. None there, either.
IIRC,the blend was selling for $1.34 per quart and the dino was $1.24
Like I said,the choices are slim but it is on the shelf.
The TA oil is on the shelf close to where the ST oil is.

I bought 20 quarts.
This week jumped to 1.33.

The 5w-30 is the only one I have seen at walmart that says it is a syn blend on the front, the 10w-30 and 40 do not say it.
You won't be seeing Trop Artic at Dollar Tree for much longer.
