I was at an Autozone and a Murray's/O'Reily's store this week and noticed that many of the suppliers are now packaging their oil in 5+ gallon jugs. Actually 5.28 gallons to be precise. At the same time there are 'sales' at the same places for $3.99/qt for Valvoline SynPower for example.
Are they liquidating the typical quart and 1 gallon and 5 quart jugs for this 'new' 5+ quart deal???? Don't know, but did stock up on the 1 qt. deals on Valvoline Synpower for my '04 Dodge Rumble Bee truck. Not sure if i want to switch for my VX though.
Now i see Castrol Syntec at Murray's for $4.99/qt. Never seen that or any of the others that low except for the Valvoline at the $3.99. These are very fair prices and although i still change my oil at 2500 miles in all my vehicles I still use the Full Synthetics. Just cheap insurance as far as I am concerned!
Are prices becoming a little more on the 'fair' side? Who knows!
