Why is Castrol Edge 0w40 so much more expensive than the rest from Walmart?

Looks like a pricing error. It was around $28 as recently as July 2nd.

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.

Walmart has the Edge Euro 5w30 on the shelf at $28. Doesn’t make sense to charge more than double for 0w40
It's an error. Look at the in-store price here: https://brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/?sku=35931146
All 4 are good oil, just choose the cheapest
Thank you very much for this cool link! Can check inventory at all the local stores
Two nearest Walmarts to me say they have it in stock at the store for $28.94.
All the Walmart’s around my area have no 0w40 in stock. I notice even a lot of oil Supertech oil filters I use are gone off the shelves
