Yeah. They had the Castrol, just not the right weight. The shelves weren't marked for it either. There is a PepBoys nearby, so I'll try that. Thanks!

I buy it at my local AutoZone in the quart containers...they don't carry the large jugs (haven't checked WalMart). I'll buy it when it's on sale for $4.98 qt and store until I'm ready to change in the fall (once a year or every 3000 miles in my case).

PepBoys had it in quarts only. NO WAY I'm going to pay $7.59/qt. No way!

AutoZone near my house didn't even have it in quarts in 10w40.

My local Walmart doesn't carry it. I emailed them and asked why. They called and said they couldn't even find the SKU for it. So they can't order it.

anyone have the SKU for the 5w-40 or 10w-40 in the 5qt jug.

thanks

You're a week too late... went out with Wednesday's garbage. If I get to Walmart this weekend, I'll see if i can get a photo of the SKU... love cell phone camera's, don't have to write anything down anymore.

That would be great.
Also, the address of the walmart that has it would be good too. Not that I would drive that far, but so I can tell walmart corporate which store is stocking it.

I had to get it in quarts myself from advanced auto parts. They had the $24.99 or $29 (can't remember) for 5 quarts and a free bosch filter special going last month. I got an extra filter for my other cars as I only use napa gold for my Porsche. You could always have them order it in from another store. I don't think they even charge for it. Good call on castro syntec!! Don't forget to check your old filter for metal particles
