I was in Wal Mart picking up oil and filters for my truck and wife's Escalade today. There was a guy there buying up all the 15-40 jugs they had. He does fleet maintenance and said no one could touch Wal Marts price on oil.

 

I picked up one of the Castrol Edge/Wix deals from O'reilly's for $33.99 plus a $10 mail in rebate. I don't know if it is cheaper than Walmart, but I don't really care as I hate going to Walmart.

 

AMSOIL beats them all @$10 a quart at the end of the year.

The improved mileage pays for the purchase before it is time to change the oil.

Do not even need to get in your car and waste your time looking for the cheapest

trash on the bottom shelf.

oil brand will not increase fuel economy unless you reduce viscosity, period.

I know I have tested this up the ass over the last decade, also no free HP either.

If you can show one double blind study I would love to read it.

 

Does orilleys or will they price match wal mart?

 

They do for me, 0-40 Mobil 1 is $26.44 at Wally World and $36 at the O.

 

I avoid wallmark like a plague, corporate poison for everybody involved.


But, they have the best prices on oil.

Do you think the other retail stores arent trying to become more like Walmart?

I can also shop from my couch on Amazon, so your point is really null and void. It is about convenience and whatever works for you.

I don't need to take part in a multi-level marketing scheme to purchase everyday goods.

Just say no to Amway.

 

Nothing you said had anything to do with the price of a product after you have used it.

The fear of realizing you have been ripped off by clever advertising for bottom of the

barrel product's is the only reason why many people cannot focus on the fact's.

After 22 years of using AMSOIL successfully in all my personal vehicles and hundreds

of other vehicles I really laugh when I read post like yours.

Just like the old saying from Mark Twain says.

Hey but you have the right to keep living in FEAR

 

BTW, I checked and for Castrol Edge, Amazon and Wally World are the same price.

Amazon Castrol Edge 10w-30 Black

Wally World Castrol Edge 10w-30 Black

 

Walmart always has the best price on Rotella T5 synthetic in my area.

 

No one beats Walmart and Sam's for lubricants in our area.

 

Oreillys won't price match wal-mart's prices either. I hate shopping at wal-mart however I will buy my oil there since it is MUCH cheaper. On the way home I stop by Oreillys for a Wix filter.

 

They will price match in my area.

 

I've never tried amsoil. What makes it any better than a quality oil like valvoline?

 

Lets see, here is a client of mine that I set up over 4 years ago with AMSOIL

after 22,000 miles and 4 years here is the oil sample results that came back.

That oil is still in service today.

Good old Wal-Mart. If you look at the 5qt jugs of Mobil 1 they are indeed 5 qts.O'Reallys or anywhere else they are 5.1 qts.Still cheaper that Oreallys.Only time I step foot in that place.

 

Only Mobil1 worth buying is the Gold top product, is this the product you are talking about?

 

I'm confused what happens to the blowby contaminates? An amsoil dealer came to my work the other day saying his oil will fix the excessive blowby in our diesel truck. He brought in his ford focus to get a brake controller and 7-way hardwire done so he could pull a big trailer. I refused to wire it up because I told him his transmission would burn up. He said no it won't because I run amsoil transmission fluid in it. The guy had to of been 80 years old. Is he just a salesman or is there any merit?

 

AMSOIL wont fix a worn out engine.

Any blowby usually means you have some kind of wear.

AMSOIL as any other oil will work best in mechanically sound engines.

If you indeed have a good engine then AMSOIL will perform the best over

other brands with a few other Brands coming in very close in performance.

If anyone takes the time to research the MSDS list for the product and compare

the HTHS values or the Fire points Flash points anyone will find that AMSOIL

will last the longest in severe service AKA high heat operation.

The lubricant will protect components up to 500F before thermal breakdown

compared to lower grade lubes that are done at 325F

With this kind of protection and long drain service interval the benefits become

very apparent.

Here is my own vehicle with 40,000 miles and 5 years on one oil change

Funny how the Bullet is all "to hell with walmart" til it comes time to buy something then yall go there.

 

I buy oil there and stare at fat, obese pigs in pajamas.

You, do what YOU want to do.

 

Right now O'rielly's has a sale on oil/filter combos this month.

I bought a 5 quart jug of mobile super synthetic and a wix filter, $28 out the door.

 

And Ranchopwer, if you have't changed your oil in 5 years, you are a complete, total, fucking, IDIOT!!!

 

I agree!

As far as shopping for oil goes,I'll purchase it online before I step foot on Walmarts property.

 

Auto parts shopping is a whore business since all the Mom and Pops are
no longer part of the American landscape. But Walmart can suck my dick

 

id use olive oil before id use Scamsoil

 

funny you say that, above ground materials like olive oil have higher temperature

properties than below ground crude oil material!

where do you think synthetic lubricants come from?

Plant based oils

 

I don't use bargain basement oil and I don't use Amway

 

AMWAY SUED AMSOIL FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE, THEY LOST! PENNZOIL SUED AMZOIL FOR THE Z, THEY LOST TOO!

 

ops.......Scamsoil

 

are you trying to convert me to Scamsoil ?

 

I try to avoid Walmart if possible. I have Meijer stores in my area which are comparable to Walmart. I buy my oil and filters at my local Meijer. I bought an AC compressor at O'Reillys awhile back and it was locked up, a remanned unit locked up. Damn!

 

I'm 41 years old been dealing with cars since before I could drive. I have never lost an engine due to the brand of oil, heck I have never lost an engine due to any oil or oiling issues never had to have it tested. The only thing amsoil offers is extended oil change intervals but you can get that with any semi syn or full syn oil. The only thing I have ever seen to be true on oil is to use the proper weight, keep the levels good and proper oil change interval for the car and oil.

The one amsoil product I do use is their fuel treatment.

41 years old?
As Regan said I wont Judge you on your lack of experience
He was a cool guy

 

If I told you the oil I run, you would probably tell me that junk too.

 

I had great success using ROYAL-PURPLE but could not get an account to buy their products like I could with AMSOIL.

So I went with AMSOIL and found out that it was even better.

I would not trash a brand if I had no prior experience with it.

 

I think you'll find that as the gold top bottle meets Dexos 2 it has a 15,000 guarantee to meet a specific GM drain interval?
Do you know what dexos 2 is?
I don't really think many drag racers need this spec.
Perhaps when you are pushing your amsoil best oil in the world shite, you should compare apples to apples.
All of the Mobil1 products you have pictured are everyday API spec automotive oils, not racing oils.

Large oil companies like Mobil, shell, texaco care about volume markets, ain't no volume in drag racing.

I just broke apart a 6.2 GM product and was not impressed with Dexos at all.
