The box wine of oil
 
SuperTech or Havoline oil in a 12-quart box. Full synthetic and Dexos1 rated for $48.

Why am I just finding out about this now? It would have saved me some money, plus less plastic packaging.

Walmart brand is pretty well known. Actually, I always look as low as I can on a shelf to see what value everyone else is missing.

Ever visit bobistheoilguy.com?

Yep, quite a bit. But I've never seen oil in a cardboard box at Walmart before. Or maybe I just wasn't looking.

Oh! I knew about Supertech, but I didn't know you were being literal about it coming in a box.

I haven't bought oil in a couple years. I tend to go on a hoarding spree when there's a sale on synthetic and get a few years supply.

I have never seen oil in a cardboard box. Was it implemented as a cost-saving measure or just virtue-signalling regarding those claims against the usage of plastics?

ME_Andy 11-10-2022 11:42 AM

I'm pretty sure it was for cost savings. Most people who care about carbon footprints probably aren't buying 12 quarts of oil :rolleyes:

I get mine at Costco, dexos 1 or 2, can't remember. (2) 5qt jugs for $35, used to be $28 a year ago.
*edit: well I guess now it's $40 for the twin pack... lame

That super tech is actually gen2 rated

I care, but the F 250 uses 15 1/2 quarts with a new filter generally once a year. The four gallon jugs are now empty hazardous waste in my jurisdiction no matter how clean they are. We won't even discuss the insulin shipment packages I get.

Last time there was a great deal on oil and there was so much I didn't buy it all was 2017 and 2018. That was the last time Walmart and tractor supply had a good section of clearance oils and it ran out last year.
