I think the Walmart label is unique to the 5 qt. jug. I have Mobil 1 quarts from Walmart and they do not have Walmart listed on them. I've not seen the 5qt. jugs anywhere but Walmart. Anyway, I should clarify that 400 hour claim. Not all of that 15W50 came from Walmart in the 5 qt. jugs. I also buy Mobil 1 at Farm and Fleet by the 6 quart case when Mobil has there rebate program.

Someone mentioned tires. I've only ever bought Walmart/Sam's Club tires once. I bought a set of BFG AT KO's for my 2500 DMax. Tires lasted 22K and they were bald. I chalked it up to a diesel truck with a tune and mostly in-town driving. However, I'd ran those tires for years on other trucks and always got 35K - 40K miles out of a set. Hmm....

The 5 quart Jugs are available from other retailers. Why more don't carry them, I don't know. 5 quart jugs of any oil is more convenient than single quart bottles.

The newer BFG's stink period. I had a set of those same tires on a bone stock f250 diesel a year ago.....28k miles and donezo. They must have really cheapened up the compounds.

Cool. I look for them at other retailers in my area.

Quick search, supposedly Advanced and Autozone are 2 of them........call before you drive.

My local Oreilly's shows 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 in stock.

Okay....back to work for me....that's enough of that. LOL.

BTW, my 357,000 mile Benz that I exclusively used Walmart Mobil 1 5w30 in - changed the oil when FSS indicated a change was due, which was about every 18,000 miles. Yes, OMG, 18,000 miles between changes.

So tell me again how inferior Walmart M1 is?

You guys go ahead and pay an extra 10 bucks per jug at Orielly or wherever. Makes no sense to me.

ICDEDPPL 06-15-2015 06:58 PM

None of my Walmart 5 qt jugs say anything about Walmart anywhere.

When all of the small businesses close shop that carried hard to find made in america things , let me know what you think about that couple bucks you saved .

The 15w-50 silver cap in 5 qt jugs is a Walmart only item.
The other weights are available at other retailers.

Tires really are made different for different customers. I work at the Nissan Smyrna plant and they build us spec(cheap) tires, same label, etc....but they do it to get the contract. I paid $17 for the GTX 20-50 last week. Orielly was $22 but they gave you a $2 oil filter... Oil is oil am sure......I did not see a walmart name on this bottle though...

I have purchased Mobile 1 15-50 silver cap in Autozone. Pep Boys also sells it. I'm sure others do as well. A lot of local auto stores stopped carrying the 15-50 as I assume there isn't that big of a market for it anymore with most newer engines running thinner oil.

To what? GNP is now at 17 trillion. Every year it goes up. Only year it did not was 2009.

Not defending Walmart, but Christ why should anybody pay 36 bucks a O'Really when Walmart has it for 26? I have multiple 8 quart cars so when I buy, it's usually 6-10 jugs.

That I can spend my savings on American made craft beer, or Cuban made cigars, or Scotch made scotch, or whatever.

The argument that Walmart hurts business is ludicrous. Let's go communist and control the FREE ECONOMY. Yes sir, outlaw Walmart because Sammy took the American Dream by the balls and became wildly successful. He understood competition like none other. Maybe if mom and pop did the same, they would also be successful. Fred Meijer did. As have many others.

Padraig 06-16-2015 08:42 PM

Ditto. I for one get tired of people bashing Walmart for being successful. I also respect them because they support their people and like to promote from within.

I've been in plenty of small business's that carry knick knack overpriced foreign crap. Also why should one head to a pricey department store for a pair of the same Nicaraguan made undies that Walmart has for plenty less?

X a million!
Sam Walton WAS a small business man for a while until he did the above.
I hope none of these same "BIG" Walmart bashers shop at Home Depot, Menards, Lowes either, for Heavens sake they are running off the mom and pop hardware stores.
