Puzzled but all good. Was online with Autozone for something else and saw what "others were purchasing" and saw for $4 a 5qt container of 5w30 oil so I did an online purchase and pickup. Super great deal but WHATS WITH THAT?? I usually aint that lucky... Charlie

That's about 1/2 the price of the crude oil it was made from.

Someone got a decimal point in the wrong place while loading the price ?
Happened at a rural fuel station a while ago here ( pay by eftpos or credit card )....tanks got emptied overnight once the news spread thru the community ( like feckin wildfire ) peeps were lining up with anything that would hold fuel . Owner cried fowl , reported it to police as theft ....didnt have a leg to stand on . 😁

Wow! That is a deal!

I just went online and it was $2 a qt or $20 for the 5qt jug.

Yes,there were also some $2 sales on quarts of Mobil1 and Quaker state.I was looking for a fuel line connector and just happen to stumble across the clearance sale. Autozone has some good deals there on oil. Charlie
