84300DT,
I asked at Walmart and was told they didn't sell group 49 batteries. If the Sears and AZ batteries are the same, why pay a lot more for the Sears battery? P E H |

Boys and Gals,
I went into AutoZone (AZ) today. Seems like their battery prices went way up since I last looked at them. Their best batteries were about $79+. That's about $20 more than an equivalent Walmart battery with 1 year less warranty. AZ didn't have any group 49 batteries on the rack, so I don't know what they cost now. AZ had Mobil Synthetic Delvac engine oil on the shelf in gallon jugs: $30.36, that's $7.59 a quart. Truck and SUV oil is available at Walmart for about $3 less a quart but you have to watch for sale. AZ rarely has good prices on engine oil. P E H |

Very odd...on their website and in the store the group 49 is listed as 69 dollars with a 8 dollar core charge.
7 year warrenty.. Their oil is almost always expensive...I usually get it elsewhere. BI-MART around here has good deals on oil...when they have enough of it |

84300DT,
Maybe someone can check at another AZ store and find out what a group 49 battery costs. All I bought was a drive belt for the alternator on my Chevy Diesel PU truck. The last time I looked, the belt was wrapped around the fan. P E H |

I bought mine in Oct for $65 or so.
Autozone and Pepboys are expensive when it comes to oil. Walmart is the best place to go, $20 for five quarts of Mobil 1 is the best price I have found. I just buy wax and rags from Autozone/Pepboys thats all their good for.

Hatterasguy,
I like Auto Zone. If I don't get parts online, I usually get them there. They have a line of lifetime warranty tools at lower prices than Sears. When I needed a caliper for the 300SD in a hurry, AZ got one for me overnight. It was only about $6 extra for the overnight service. AZ is the best place to buy a group 49 battery but not other size batteries. P E H |
