Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (5 Quart Jug) is $26.50 at WalMart. Just picked some up a few weeks ago.
That's where I usually get oil but haven't bought any there for a while.
For my Javelin, I can only find that oil online. No one stocks Biosyn oil around here.

If yall are paying more than $30 a jug for any mainstream synthetic yall gotta stop hitting the auto parts stores 😄
I agree, but for whatever [insert reason here], Walmart is the devil to some and will gladly pay double to not have to grace their presence in it.

With WalMart delivery - you can avoid that too.

I'll just lump my cheap motor oil in with my ole ladies grocery order 🤣

I have the same sentiment about that big river in South America.

There are a few businesses or vendors who only sell through that site.

But gee, then you miss out seeing the PEOPLE OF WALMART.......... (sadly, that site no longer exists for some reason)

I was only suggesting to SPapa to check out Advance Auto Parts since the oil does cost around $40 per jug for the Pennzoil Platnium and others and that includes your choice of oil filters (such as the Mopar OEM 349 or whatever number it is for the 3.6) which works out to about the same total price or very close to the Walmart price. I personally find Advance Auto more convenient (I have two within 2 miles of my Wed-Thurs place in the Miami area and one about 3 miles from what is now finally my home in Key Largo) instead of having to put up with the crap of fighting the traffic and then the lines inside the Walmarts here. However, I do miss the knowledgeable, friendly and helpful people when shopping at Walmart.

But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.

I can't remember the last time I saw an Advanced Auto Parts. Had to check Google Maps to find one 🤣

Yea, that deal works out if an Advanced is nearby.

I only go to WalMart every couple months it seems, and then its only early on a Sunday morning before anyone else gets there.

I know some folks don't like Amazon, and that's totally cool.

I'm not one of them. I love Amazon for getting odd and end things without having to find yet another website to trust / get an account with / etc. I've been meaning to cancel Prime though as I don't use the video service and I always spend enough to hit the shipping threshold anyway.

I hadn't been in a walmart for years. Went in one the other day and instantly ran into some extended family. That's reason to stay away!

Yes, I often get the odd things from Amazon but prefer to source the ends locally.
