I guess it is relative. I wouldn't call it the deal of the century, though, but still a good deal.
For me this is a good deal since I like to use Mobil 1, not Rotella (just personal preference, that's all), and at least around here the 0W-40 is not on sale too often, nor available at my local WallyWorld.
So, IMO, paying $6.60/qt. is a lot better than paying $8.79/qt. PLUS, I get cheap Mobil 1 filters to use in my truck.
If you use Rotella, then this obviously is not a deal for you and you are all set.

How do I know this? I tried it last time they ran the promo.
Good luck pulling it off.

I just went to my local advanced auto parts to pick up some oil. it turns out they just started a sale today. 5 quarts of Mobil 1 and a filter for $34. as you guys may know, they don't carry filters for our cars. so I just grabbed any three filters and hit the checkout with 15 quarts. totaled out to just over 100 bucks. and the best part of all, I'll go back tomorrow to return the filters without a receipt and get the full $19 per filter in store credit. so basically I am getting 15 quarts of oil for $40. I'm not sure if this is a local to new jersey thing or if it's everywhere, but you guys might want to check it out.
If they do post back

Stumbled across a $5.49+ special on Mobil1 which includes my preferred HTHS 229.5 specification 0W-40 blend.
The local O’Reilly retailer didn’t have any on the shelves, but a gent working the counter found plenty stashed in their inventory.
“We’ll receive another shipment on Wednesday if you need any more.”
Pumped another ~$100 into the GMC at Chevron with the money I saved. :)

Hardly worth the trouble. Wally mart has Shell Rotella 5w-40 approved oil, 21.67 for 4 quarts.

The gas to drive to Pep Boys would exceed the savings, and likely they won't have any.
Just missed the sale at Oreily where it was just over $5 as it will be again.

Not quite the "deal of the century." Not bad though if you don't mind waiting on a rebate check.
Wait, I see Napa has 0W40 $5.99. Time to stock up

Had a sale on the 5 qt jugs M1 for $24.97. All the 0-40s jugs were gone. Went to Customer Service, they called the manager who gave me 5 individual qts for the same price.
All one needs to do is be nice to the CS folks and ask.

Would've been nice to get $12 back without even needing the buy the Mobil 1 filter. I have plenty of filters for my truck to last a while, anyway...Oh well... Time head over to Napa to get the 0W40 since my daughter's W203 is due for Service B in 3 days.
EDIT: Didn't go to Napa, but got two 5qt. jugs of 0W40 from WallyWorld for 54.xx w/tax. Saved a few bucks over Napa.

^^^^This price is in effect for the Wally World near me.
They never have the 5 qt jugs in my area. I might have to play nice to get this deal.
