The Briggs and Stratton 5w-30 synthetic had been marked down do $1 per container.
That means you can get SJ rated synthetic oil for $2 per qt. I cleared the shelf, a whole 3.5 quarts.
SJ rated is what most of our late 1990s, early 2000s cars and small engines should be using.
There's also "VP fuels" brand full synthetic 10w-30 oil that is SN rated, same price, cleared that shelf too. Got all 2 bottles of it.

This saves me from having to put $10 a quart motor cycle oil in my small engines.
