Seems their lubricants and ZEP additive are of interest here.

Back in Sweden after a week in San Jose CA,
passed Wal-Mart on my way to the airport this morning to buy oil for my yearly oil change.(Always carry an extra sportsbag perfect for 8 quarts and dirty laundry)
They had the 15W-50 regular and reading the data that Bill linked to it looks like good stuff for our engines.
Total cost around 48$ compared to Swedens crazy oil prices, which would be around 30$ per quart for high quality syntetic oils.(That is a whopping 240$)
(And the 15w50 is not available here anyway)
I have done this two times now and so far no oil leaking from the bag
It seems the package is quite durable which is lucky.

Peter: Thank you for for you efforts to turn the US into an oil exporting nation.

My local Walmart always carries the 5 quart jugs for $24, it's the only thing I can stand to buy from them. Just a heads up!

Back in Cali I used to get it like that as well, but around here it is the single quarts only.
