   I had to grocery-up there on Friday and made a point of looking at prices.   
   I was surprised, as a quart is now priced at $6.75 and the 5 gal jug at   
   $24.50...   
      
    TW> I jsut checked the Wal-Mart Web site for Moile 1 and it saus "Price

   As is the case above. There's probably a small difference in shipping to   
   CA vs TX...

   I used to have them change my oil, but stopped that practice when the oil   
   change price went over $36...

   We get a small discount from O'Reilly's at my friend's shop, but I don't   
   take advantage of it because Wal-Mart is still cheaper.

   I'll bet that's been a while. I don't remember it.

   There's nothing wrong with using that oil, as long as they do a good job   
   of cleaning and refurbishing the additives. I'd use it in a high   
   mileage/oil consuming car for sure.
