Well, to be more specific....check it when you buy it.

I changed out the oil in my friends 94 on Friday. I told her the day before to stop into Walmart and pick up a jug of 10-30 Mobil 1 (5 quart container) which was on sale for $24.97. Which she did at the Walmart on Lewelling in San Leandro.

After replacing the oil filter and draining the oil I asked her to get the oil out of her car. She handed it to me and the jug didn't feel right. There was a small film of oil on the outside. Told her to check the back end of her Corvette to see if any oil had got onto her carpet. She had a blanket in the back and there was a very light spot of oil, but none on the carpet. I started to remove the top of the container....this is twisting way too EASY. Got the top off and there was no foil covering the mouth of the container. It was filled with USED OIL.

Some A hole had filled the container with their used oil and had returned it to Walmart and got their money back.

So if you buy the large five quart container be sure that the top is sealed!

I always have checked bottles or containers wherever I buy products like this.
Same for food products get the one with the longest date.

...not walmarts fault...but the a-holes fault for trying to get over on a buck.....but again the employee should have been more observant.....

I buy my oil at Walmart every time I do an oil change on my vehicle (Mobil 1 all the time) and never had a problem like this. I go to the one on Davis though. That employee should have checked the bottle, most don't.

I can't believe that there are people out there that would do something like that, well I can but seems unreal. Seems like to much effort for the money. Guess my mind just doesn't work that way. I would have never thought of something like that.

Mr.Bill

Make sure you check the pilfer seal on the jug. That will tell you a lot.

Same thing with oil filters...they will swap out a more expensive one into a cheaper box....

Not a new low for many WalMart customers.
