WOW, a whole $6 more over the life of an oil change... why panic?

I loaded up as soon as I saw the note about shortage and then bought a couple more when I saw the bulletin about base stock standards loosening.

Restore and protect. $35.97 ..........

Which Walmart?

Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 still shows $29.97 by me on Long Island, NY.

 

[Hall]

So, how much was it?

$16.88 for Supertech, 5 quart
$20.97 for Quaker State Full Synthetic or Castrol GTX, 5 quart
$19.97 for Valvoline Maxlife synthetic blend, 5 quart

Prices all look normal to me

If only someone could have predicted this…

If it stops raining I might need to recheck my Valvoline Restore and Protect stock so I can pass by Walmart when I go to Autozone for the BOGO fuel system cleaner. They are across the street from each other.

This information was our take aways from the recent ICIS briefing on the lubricant's market place. ICIS, is an independent, commodities data expert company. They gather pricing data and analysis over several commodities and is one of the key standards in setting market place...

BITOG hoarders unite and keep checking stash that nothing disappeared.

 

[Zee09]

If you're here and don't have 20 years worth stocked away you ain't a real oil dude 🛢

 

[duck__dodgers]

For any gluttons for more hoarding, if you live in Meijer-land, Valvoline Restore and Protect is $28.99. sale ends Tuesday, IIRC.

Maybe it’s the unnecessary usage of shift/caps lock, but this seems like a bit of an overreaction.

$6 here, $6 there, it all adds up.
