Mobil 1 Synthetic -5 quart Jug $19.99

I listened to you guys again and I went to Wal-Mart just for the jugs of oil. They actually had 15-50 Mobil 1 in 5 quart jugs for only 19.99. My father went out to a different walmart yesterday and they did not even carry the big jugs. Just giving someone the heads up that Seacaucus, NJ has a whole lot of these left.

Big Juggs? I'm going there to take a look for myself.

Seriously, my Wal*Mart had them but I think they are sold out.

Several of the auto parts stores around here carry the larger "juggs" of oil. They also offer a good price break on the larger size. Synthetic Mobil 1 also. It is not stocked on the shelf but usually will have some in the back. You will have to ask for it.

(Will NOT buy at Wal-Mart!)

I haven't seen it at auto parts stores. Only Wal*Mart or once before Farm and Fleet. If Wal*Mart has it, I'll buy there because that is probably going to be the cheapest and most easily advailable instead of chasing all over the world for it.

As I said, you have to ask for it.


(Wal-Mart cost me $5k the last time I purchased something there, 13 yrs. ago. They are not the wonder-of-wonders some think they are.)

Take this question to OD, and you'll get a world of well-reasoned answers.
The company is satan incarnate, and it's not because they 'know how to make money'.

They 'make' money because WalMart demands continuing price reductions from their suppliers. Their style of implementation of this practice is unsustainable over the long term.

There is evidence that some suppliers are selling their inferior quality goods to WalMart in order to maintain the unreal cost reductions forced on them. Lube oil is one of the products, batteries are another.

How do you that the Mobil 1 you are buying at WallyWorld is 'really' Mobil 1?

I don't see how Wal*Mart can screw up a 5 qt of Mobil 1 oil. They have a price that is as cheap if not cheaper than other auto parts stores and they are very convenient with their hours of operation and also very convenient for most cities. Hard to argue with that.
