Actually, I should have said $20- w/ tax from Wal-Mart @ Union City. Also, the old oil fits perfectly in the 5 qt. jug for easy disposal.

actually, believe it or not, I NEVER pick up any of the samples @ Costco. I think the last time I did was a couple years ago, seriously!! Nothing wrong w/it, but usually, the ones fighting for the free eats are fat dudes or old ladies!

kragens has 1.99qt for castrol syth blend,quaker state high performace. Pretty damn cheap, i just picked up 5 qts for 12.65 yeahhhhh. 6 dollars for the oil filter.

under 20 oil change is good in my book.

Whoohoo I used the search button to find this thread unlike some others lol. Anyways I don't have a Costco card so I'll probably pick up a $20 5qt. jug from Wal Mart unless someone else has seen a better deal latley??
