   Cheap Good Synthetic at Walmart

   I saw M1 0w40 at autozone at $4.79/qt, case price. I also noticed some threads on M1 oils excessively thinning on the bobistheoilguy site. So the cost of 0w40 comes to $24 for 5 qts vs. $18 for the 10w30 from WalMart in the 5 qt jug. So the 0w40 is about 35% more expensive than the 10w30...

   Cheap Good Synthetic at Walmart

   Cheap Good Synthetic at Walmart

   Problem w/ the M1 10w30/5w30 is the viscosity is kind of thin compared to the m1 0w40, M1 Delvac 5w40, or Rotella T syn 5w40. The latter three have comparable viscosities. I guess an economical way is to run the 10w30 in the fall-spring, then 15w50 in the summer, but I don't like having to stock...
