Walmart In-Store deals! $32 for 12 quarts of SuperTech Full Synthetic! $39 for 12 quarts Valvoline Advanced!

Before getting too excited, I would assume this is only at this one store.
I picked up 2 boxes of SuperTech 5w20 for $32 each a few weeks ago. Waiting for the 5w30 to go on sale, I'll clean the place out!
This is at ALL Walmart stores. The challenge is finding out when these sales take place. Your best bet is to go to the largest Walmart SuperCenter when it first opens. The only way to find out is to walk into the store. Use the price scanning Walmart app as the prices listed on the shelf are sometimes not accurate.
If you go late in the day the shelf will be empty.
The sticker said $39.50 for SuperTech but when I scanned it then it said $32.00.
Also forgot to mention Valvoline at $39.50.

Does Brickseek still work?
My local WW had 12 quart boxes of M1 0w40 Euro for $25.00 ea. I was tempted to buy a box but have no app calling for that weight.
The market has spoken on buying oil in these types of vessels. For starters in the image shown, 2 of the 3 boxes are either damaged or needed to be reinforced with strapping tape. No one is going to pay full freight for that.
Ive used these boxes. Inside is a bag of oil. So if the box is damaged it doesnt matter as long as the bag isnt leaking.
They had another box of ST on the shelf but it was damaged to a point where even I would not buy it. It was simply torn up.
Thanks for the update on the SuperTech.
$39-32=$7 savings. But you have to factor in the gasoline cost of driving roundtrip to Walmart just for the oil.
In my case the closest Walmart is 20 miles away (40 miles round trip). So if my vehicle gets 20 MPG, I would use 2 gallons * 3.35 a gallon = $6.70 in gasoline.
So it would be a 30 cent savings instead of a $7 savings. LOL.

The cheapest API SP/Dexos1Gen3 oil at Walmart not on sale is about $19 for SuperTech 5 quart jug.
Most boxes were damaged...
BTW shelf life of oil is 4 to 5 years.

Nope. Have a search on the forum.
I saw this at my store yesterday for 10W30. Still not sure I can get behind 2.67/qt but for an endangered species like 10W30, maybe.
I did grab two jugs of QS 20W50 for $14 ea, so $2.80/qt, but 20W50 is beyond endangered to nearly-extinct. API SN (not plus) and I didn't look at date codes.
Heck, I recently poured in mostly 20W50 in our 3V Ford to prop up hydraulic tensioners

No sir. I only do searches on the oil manufacturers website about oil shelf life.

I do not want to debate the topic of "shelf life" and will accept the information the oil manufacturers put out on this topic. If you disagree with the information in those various links then you should take it up with them. You can contact their "tech line" to have that debate.
Same here! I cleaned out the 0w20, and the 5w30 here at my local Walmart for that price.
One of my boxes that I purchased looked like it didn't get enough glue on it at the manufacturing plant, but no leaks.
No. Thanks for posting the sale, but you are frankly wrong, and I am not going to debate you either except to again say, have a search on the forum and learn the truth about oil shelf life.No sir. I only do searches on the oil manufacturers website about oil shelf life.

I found a box of Max life high mileage full synthetic 5W30 for 39.50. Other boxes of Valvoline or super tech, like others have posted, are similarly priced. Nearly every box on clearance has visible oil stains in the cardboard from insignificant leakage. I wouldn't be surprised that all these 12 QT boxes in all brands eventually disappear.
Why bother? My uncles small gas yard equipment has been sipping on the same barrel of 1974 era hd30 he got cheap since I was a child up to the present day. No oil related failures yet, maybe someday it will empty.
So Anyone in the know doesn’t need to argue this topic. Reminds me of the expiration date on rubbing alcohol, molasses and c&c white sugar.
