Judging by the shipping weight listed, that's $12.19 a quart, not case of six.

I'm starting to think leperboy is correct :-(

But it does say

"Valvoline 679082 VR1 Synthetic Racing Formula 20w-50 - 1 Quart (Pack of 6)"

my luck I order $10 for $121 -- wait the 5 weeks and get 10 bottle
and I'm stuck with the $121 bill.

I was hoping "case" might be 12, but for sources maybe walmart, amazon, and if local advance auto has a order online pick up in store 20% off.

In related lubrication, $5 for magnalube shipped.

THANKS dude!

Just bought the last 6 from the local O'Reilly's. $4.99 ea. + rebate = cost of tax only. How sweet is that?

Note that it comes in the BLACK bottle, not the silver (non-synthetic).

Sorry for the dumb question, but should we use 20w50 or 10w30?

Still debating on switching to Redline Synthetic 20W50 since a store 1/2 mile down from where I live sells it at only $8.99 a quart while Kragen/O'Reily sells Mobil 1 for $9.49 up here.

O'reilly had M1 on sale for something like $4/qt all last month.

Somebody started a thread here to notify us.
