I went to my local O'Reilly for royal purple 20w-50 last night and was I ever surprised when they told me the list price was $18.63 per quart! I was quite shocked when he rang up the 4 quarts and wanted like $75.00. That was with the 10w30 on the shelf for $7.29. The 20w50 was hiding behind the counter.
Any one else had an experience like this? I was able to talk them down to 9 bucks but you know the price of oil is going up. I don't think I am headed back there in the near future! i do like the oil. In 2,500 miles last year there appeared to be no wear as evidenced by a nice clean filter when cut open and valves that needed no adjustment. Just had to vent. Jule |

You guys guessed it.. Brad Penn has the title! Sweet - I haven't priced it out yet so hearing it is $3-$5/qt I am stoked (car takes a case an oil change with the dry sump! tho' I use the gallon jugs which s/b even cheaper). I agree with whatever Jake's findings were (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Back in the 80s when I got into hot rodding at the ripe age of 16 the Kendall 20-50 was the sh!t and anybody in the know used the "green stuff". I was sooo bummed when I couldn't find it anymore in the 90s. |
