Default Where to buy Mobil 1 0w-40?

Where is the least expensive place to buy Mobil 1 0w-40 in Troy MI? I am going to be in the area and I figure it's a good opportunity to pick up enough for my up coming oil change. Here in Canada, they are more than $10.50 USD per liter.

Thanks in advance.

Around $7 at Napa auto parts (in Novi, MI). Lots of places sell Mobil1 but not many stock the 0w-40. Might look on-line and see if you can get a case shipped to your Troy address?

I'd try to get the 5w Mobil1. Not sure if Mobil still makes it. AFAIK, 0w is for environment and/or fuel economy which, BTW, comes at the cost of engine wear.

I paid about $7 at AutoZone yesterday. They didn't have 0-40, I got 5-40 (which is acceptable per the owner's manual). I've heard Walmart occasionally has some great prices but I don't shop there.

While you're at WalMart you can also get some of this . . .

Was at one of the local Walmarts last night, no 0-40 and no 5-40. I will try K Mart, we have Checker but their prices tend be very high unless it is on sale. I may have to go the Amazon route.

Depending on what part of the USA you are in but I have always found 0w-40 no problem at Pep Boy's, Autozone, Checkers, Riley and so forth.

Avg $6.99 a qt here in So Cal. Costco don't sell 0w but it's a lot cheaper.
