Aren’t all of these 0w40 Euro Full Syns A3/B4 approved?

Sometimes, when supplies are running low, they jack up the prices like that to prevent people from buying it. Or they keep prices the same, but then cancel the order and refund. It's just less of a headache for them to jack up the price than to deal with refunds. Once they get more of that oil on hand - price will drop to normal, or even lower on Rollback.
 
Could be a pricing error or WalMart is trying to get you to buy cheaper product which they want to move.

BTW...ACEA, like API, approvals are self-certify.
