So I will be returning the 10 quarts I bought for over $7 each there last week and putting these into my personal oil change inventory!

Not sure if you have another Advanced nearby, but if you change stores, you can clear them out as well.

I just bought 10 quarts online for my next oil change, and will pick it up tomorrow while I'm out running some other errands near the Advance Auto.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Downside is store pickup only. I just bought 10 quarts online for my next oil change, and will pick it up tomorrow while I'm out running some other errands near the Advance Auto.
Not sure if it ends at midnight, but file this under better late than never.
Cheers,
DS

Hey thanks for the heads up! I just ordered 20 quarts and will pick them up tomorrow. I'm in an area where the Walmarts do not carry the jugs and the manager refuses to order them for me. So I will be returning the 10 quarts I bought for over $7 each there last week and putting these into my personal oil change inventory!
Awesome, glad it helped someone out! I just checked on their site and it appears you can still buy it for 4.99. I think I may double my order, as long as I can find a suitable place to keep 20 quarts in the garage for a little while.
Well, that worked out great! Picked up the 20 qts at Advance this morning, then went to Walmart to return the 10 I got last week. Went to a different Walmart than where I bought them, the lady said they ring up at $4.00/qt. I told her that didn't seem right, she started to lecture me about how every WalMart has different pricing according to demographics, yada yada yada. I said whatever, if $4 is your price, can I get credit for the difference and buy more? She said yes, returned them and re-rang them up at $4 each. I then went to the back to see if they had any more, they didn't even have a space on the shelf, so I realized that the $4 must have been their clearance price when they stopped carrying that weight. Probably due to the "demographics" of the store :-) Any day that I can stick it to Walmart due to their own incompetence is a good day in my book...Of course now my wife things the garage looks like a Jiffy-lube, there is oil stacked everywhere.
@Healey, my local Wally world does not, and says they do not intend to carry them, which is perplexing, but it is what it is, but good info for those who's Walmart does.
@Zenski, that means that the store that you selected as "your local store" only had 9 to sell. Not sure if you have another Advanced nearby, but if you change stores, you can clear them out as well. I have 2 within about 5 miles of each other, so while not incredibly convenient, it's not terrible to head to the other one.
