I just bought 2 weeks ago from Walmart.com. Think each 5qt jug of 0W-40 came out to $24 with free shipping. Can't beat it.

Walmart oil is fake

solekeeper

yea it's a steal. advanced had the qt for 9.19 i believe

Nope, it's quite real. They're the largest retailer in the US so they have the most pricing power. In general they usually have the lowest price on oil.

dchl21

I was joking

The only problem is that you have to go there to get it.

Sorry to ask this repeat question but is the 0w good enough for us? I usually use 5w but I don't see the formula m 5w on the Walmart website. The price on the 0w is great, so wanted to take advantage. I am in LA, so temps are usually 80s, gets as low as 40s in winter.

Flow is better for engine protection. There's many threads about which oil is best for our motors and it's always 0w40 that comes out on top.

$50 DIY oil changes? Hell yeah, count me in!

BLKROKT

Nope. Free shipping when you order online.

solekeeper

guys i bought the correct one, right

BLKROKT

Yes

solekeeper

thank you sir

hyperion667

the other problem is you have to give wal mart more money........which they don't need more of

deeoh

Mobil 1 had a rebate promotion of $15 off 5 qts. that expired 05/31/15. Can you say $35 DIY oil change? I knew you could!

Mort

They don't list it on the Canadian site. 5w40 Turbo diesel truck is the closest and it is $46.97/4.4 litres and not available for shipping, in store pick up only. No joy for Canadians.

guynamedsean

Yes!

i'm gonna jump on this. the "european car formula" is the same as "formula m"? and it's OK to mix some 5w in with the 0w, right? i have a few quarts of the 5w left...

solekeeper

did the oil change the other day with my mityvac, easy stuff.

??? The mfg of the oil we are talking about using has 100 billion dollars more market cap than Walmart.

odonnks

At some point you may want to also drain the oil cooler. This cannot be done by vac'ing the sump.

Exhibit13

Why would you need to do that, the oil circulates so it isn't like the oil in the cooler sits there and never gets changed. With the mityvac your probably changing 99% of the oil in your car, when you pull the drain plug you probabaly get 99.5% of the oil. I would say the mityvac is close enough and honestly it makes the change super easy. Doing mine next week with my mityvac mv2701 (purchased from amazon last year when I needed to change my oil).

odonnks

I'm not against vac'ing the sump but a complete change would include draining the oil cooler. I'll be doing the same between complete changes. Mostly because it's a very easy process.

The cooler itself holds a quart.
Think of it this way. If you didn't have a oil cooler would you drain the sump change the filter, add new oil and top it off with 1 quart of what you just drained out? Not draining the cooler is doing the same.

Granted, the importance of this depends on how hard the car has been ran between changes and how often the changes are done. The more frequent the sump is vac'ed and filter changed the better.

Nothing wrong with Walmart!

I bought Penzoil 5 w40 synthetic, says it is made from natural gas, for 24.00 + or - five qts for my lawn mowers.
I don't change the oil in the Mercedes. I let the Dealer do it. Excellent service.
I was interested in the thread on Mercedes not using Mobil One now. i didn't get the chance to ask Service this time what they used.
Wal Mart has some pretty good prices but I noticed the newer formulations of Mobil One were up to the eleven dollar a quart range.
