I was putting together a shopping list for some fluids I needed, hoping I could get some deals from a local lube distributor. This was prompted by word on the internet that Mobil ATF 3309 for my Volvo could be bought from Vesco Oil Co. in Southfield, Michigan for $3.38/qt by the case. All other online sources charge $16/qt for the Volvo ATF.
Hoping to pad the order with other fluids (they sell by the case, plus a 10-gal order qualifies for free delivery), and hoping to do better than retail, I asked about their price on Mobil 1 TSUV 5W-40. They charge $6.22/qt for this oil! Their other synthetic oils are also priced accordingly. My local Murray's Auto Store sells the M1 T&D for $5.59/qt. What gives?
