Default DIY Oil Changers...RUN to K-Mart!!

If you live by a K-Mart, run to their oil section ASAP if you change oil yourself. Right now they are clearing out their 1 gallon jugs on oil to make space for the 5 qt jugs. All of their dino oil is $4/gallon and $7/gallon for synthetic oil. Yes, you read that correctly. The one store that I went to didn't have any Mobil 1 syn, but they did have Castrol Syntec so I'm happy with that. $44 out the door. I'm good for at least two years with what I have stashed away now. I completely cleared my location out. I will go to the other KMart later this week to see what they have. In this purchase, I have 54k miles with dino oil (6k oci's) and 8k with the syn oil...62k miles worth of oil. With what I already have stored away now, I'm at 80k miles total of unused oil. Get someone to scan the jug if it's isn't marked down. They were marked full price, but I had them to scan it for the true cost. Thanks BITOG...great oil site lol.

Picture is worth a thousand words...

LOL. Yeah you MUST didn't read it right. No one has these prices.

To everyone else, please go check your store. I wouldn't call, I would go check myself to make sure you get the sale and not the workers. As stated, my store had the regular price tag on them. After I told the guy to scan it and it came to $4, his eyes popped because he changes his own oil. He asked if I could save him some because he got off in 1hr lol. I told him I'm sorry, but I don't run across deals like this often and I bought all of them. Make sure to scan all of the gallon jugs in all brands/flavors.

I don't use syn oil, but for $1.75/qt, I had to buy it. Bob Is the Oil Guy has a HUGE following, so I'm going to check the other K-Mart today to make sure that location has some. That site always keeps me updated with sales & Advance Coupon codes.

let me know what you find. If they don't have any, someone probably beat you to the jump. Hope not!

My local K-mart didn't have the sale on 1 gallon jugs, they did however have sales on certain quarts, Mobil 1 15w-50 for $4.96 retails for ~$9 so I pick some of those up.
