Default Mobil 1 rollback

FYI, Walmart is doing a rollback pricing on the 5QT jug of Mobil 1 for $21. Their quarts are 6.37 or something like that.

If you are like me and your Vette was complaining to 'change oil soon', then you'll appreciate the savings even more! LOL perfect timing.

hmmm...I was there recently and the containers were for 4 quarts...watch out for this because a lot of companies are sneaking little changes like this on the shelves without consumers noticing. such as, potato chips, cereal, etc.

Good timing, I just used my last WallyWorld jug of Mobil 1. If I remember right, I paid $23 and change for it so this is outstanding.

Thanks, I'm there.
