Default Mobil 1 Walmart Issue. L.I.'s Help

I used to buy Mobil 1 15w-50, 5qt containers at various Walmarts on L.I. in Nassau. Ive been to two locations lately and both did have that weight in stock. I called Walmart customer service and they told me it is in revue and they may be phasing that weigh out of their inventory which would suck. Local auto stores charge $10/qt when you can purchase 5 qts for $25-$28 at Walmart. Anyone have any suggestions where to purchase the 5 qt 15W-50's on L.I. without getting ripped off?

My only reasonably priced source at the moment is the local Farm and Fleet that places all their Mobil 1 weights on sale occasionally at $33/case. $5.50/quart.

That's a good deal. I just paid O'Riellys 8.6x a qt for 9 qts of 15-50 mobil one. Wanted to chage it before Destin.

$5.50/qt is in line for what Walmart charges for the 5qt container.

Walmart has been phasing out the 15-50 since Spring last year. It just depends on where you are located and which Walmart warehouse stocks your store.

not sure if you have Meijer stores where you are at, but they usually still have it and "sale" for $25 for 5qt jug.

I used to run that oil but got tired of chasing it down (our Walmarts were hit or miss at best). A mechanic buddy who is ANAL about his boat had been swearing by NAPA "racing" straight 40wt for several years. Since I changed oil every 25 hours and an oil change was 22 quarts (11 x 2 motors) I started using it without issue. Ran it for 3 years until the boat sold last year. Best part...I was buying it last year for $2.29/qt.

Now its $39.99 and I have no use for the filter. So for 15 qts I would be paying $120.00 where I could be 3-5qt containers at Walmart for around $85.00
