Great deal - Mobil 1 15W-50
I was at one of my many local Target stores today, and found to my surprise that quarts of Mobil 1 15W-50 were going for $1.22 each.
Am I crazy, or is this a great deal? The 10W weights were going for $5.29/quart. And in full disclosure, no, I do not work for Target.
Anyway, just wanted to post the tip. I bought everything they had on their shelf at the Shoreview, MN location which came out to 3 cases. Wish I had seen it before I put the '44 away for the winter, but I'm happy to be covered for next summer!

That's what I thought too, but I checked at one of their pricing kiosks before I took my cart full o' oil to the register.
It was the real deal at my store. Interested to hear if anyone else hits it, too.

You sure that wasn't the dino oil instead? Mobil 1 switched packages recently and all of their oil is now in that silver quart bottle with the only difference being a tiny little marking on the front that says "100% synthetic" or "synthetic blend" on the front.

Dude, I'd go clean out the shelf. You could sell 'em for twice that and the buyers would still be getting a helluva deal. I'm first in line for five cases - and I'll pay shipping.

I just got back from target in Conway, Arkansas and bought them out of all 6qts for around 8 bucks, wish they would have had 20 cases or more. They checked stock on the other two stores in central Arkansas and each had 6qts. I called one of my friends with a M3 near one of the other stores.
Must be a nation wide clearance of this weight of oil. They don't think they will get any more.
