I feel like I'm becoming one of the grumpy old farts that used to tell me to STFF when I first came here.

Well... STFF!

There must be over 100 threads answering this question already. But, in a nutshell, NO.

Oh, and the owner's manual has some pretty neat answers to questions like this also. Sorry to be such a jerk.

My local walmart sells a 5 qt (not 4 qt) jug of Mobil 1 for 26.99; 22.99 when it's on sale. Only in 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 though. I wish they sold it in the 0W-40 it beats the 6.99 / qt individuals....

There's nothing wrong with shopping at WalMart. Sure, you might find some "interesting" people, but some of the prices they have on certain things are pretty damn excellent.

I make sure to take my other car though.
