What are your "budget oils"

[53' Stude]

So, was wondering this today. What would you folks say is your "cheap/budget oil?" I would have to say ST conventional and MS5K is mine.

ST or Shell have become my "go to" cheap oils. Easy to find and cheap.

Yeah, when Formula SHELL was way under $10 at Home Depot that was good to find

My budget fluid of any kind is when I can buy with dirt cheap on sale and/or with rebate.

There are oil on sale all the time from one chain or another.

I bought 5 cases(30 quarts) Pennzoil HM from Amazon for $10.xx a case.

Less than $2/qt Pennzoil of any type is a good buy in my book.

I wouldn't consider it a 'budget' oil but QSUD. If nobody's running a rebate, it's always $21.97 at Wally World. Quality stuff at a great value.

My budget oil is every winter when Auto Zone has their clearance, usually $1 per quart. This last year was $3 per quart so I stocked up on some. I have no need to pay sticker price for oil. It's a lot better for me to have a reasonably sized stash of good cheap oil.

Trop Artic at 1.89 (Orscheln sale). Extremely convenient for me.

Citgo; on sale with mfg rebate, about $1.50/qt semi syn or full syn.

Walmart is not the best place always to get oil.

Budget oils are any of the top synthetics I can buy for $2 per quart (or less) during the year. Right now those budget oils include M1, Pennz Plat, Pennz Ultra, and QSUD. For the 0-50c difference per quart, I'll take the top synthetics. I bought 70 quarts worth last year. So far this year 20 qts.

Yeah, Autozone $2 synthetic was a pretty good deal. Those $1 oils were synthetic blends. I guess the days of free oil are gone, but maybe they'll come back now that oil is way down. Mobil 1 with the $12 rebate was also pretty good, around $10.88 for a 5 quart jug after rebate. There's also black friday coming up at PepBoys. They usually have $20 synthetic with a free filter. December isn't that far away, I wonder what Autozone will have this year.

Formula Shell is a very good option for me.. For a full synthetic it Havoline Pro DS and or Quaker State Ultimate Durability. HPDS at AAP for 3.99 a quart is pretty decent.

Formula Shell @ Home Depot and Chevron Supreme Conventional - Costco sale - $25.99@ case

Back a bit Castrol Edge was my good oil and GTX was my budget oil. Now days I more follow that sales and specials, to get any good name brand with good specs at a decent price.

In Australia, the best place to buy a name brand oil at a good everyday price is KMart.
- Shell Helix HX5 15W-40 mineral oil ( API SN, ACEA A3/B3).
- Shell Helix HX7 10W-40 semi-synthetic oil (SN, A3/B4, MB 229.3, VW 502/505)

These two oils are priced so well everyday at KMart, they often beat an Auto store having a sale.

In Oz, KMart and Shell oil will take care of a family on a budget.
