Our schedule is about the same as Denny's. 100W in summer, 15W50 in winter,
change oil every 33 hours, filters every 66. I bought 5 cases of 15W50 from
the wholesaler in gallon jugs a couple months ago and it cost 16.24 per
gallon, I could have gotten quarts for the same relative price. I only
saved about 5% over the FBO's price. We buy the 100W bulk in a 55 gallon
drum because we use more during the summer months. We usually save about
$.75-$1.00 per quart over the FBO price that way.

Hi All,

I've burned through my last four cases of 15W50 and was about to reorder
from my local Shell distributor when I was shocked to find that the
price of a case of 12 qt bottles has risen to $68. I used to pay around
$47/case from these people, but that was several years ago (last time I
ordered it had risen to $56). It's hard to ignore the impact of crude
prices on this stuff, but jeez.

Can any of you who are able to get this stuff at Walmart or other
distributors (or heck...anyone who's bought a single quart from an FBO
lately) give me some prices so I can clarify how good a deal this is?

Thanks for the help,

-Doug
