Default Best place to buy Mobil 1

Probably a dumb question but are there any recommendations for the best place to get Mobil 1 oil? Obviously I can get it through the local auto parts place but I wondered whether this group has another source that they recommend or like to support. I'm in the Boston area and would much appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Yep. I posted in the long thread:

0W40 was $5.67/qt at Wally world too.

Wherever they sell it and closest to my house is where I buy it.

Costco is a little more that the Walmart price but you can get it by the case (of 6) for ~ $27

Plus your not supporting crooked *** Wal-Mart

Well, if you want to get all political...

In this case, I appreciate that one evil mega-corporation is negotiating with another evil mega-corporation on my behalf.

Wally World isn't nearly as crooked since Hillary left their board.

Agreed!

No I don't want to get political.. but we've benefited from the Volume of Walmart in business too... However, I've also seen ALOT of companies get the proverbial "Golden Volume Carrot" dangled in front of them from Wal-Mart requiring these companies to invest heavily to commit to the business. Suddenly Wal-Mart will switch gears for a $.01 and quickly get "Dumped" causing these companies major distress and/or to close.
