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

That's funny you typed that, I made a super power magnetic scavenger for the plastic housing out of some Lowes magnets and a dollar store dog collar.

Talked to a guy at a WalMart Supercenter's tire and lube dept. He said they no longer carry 10w40 in the Castrol Syntec.

I live in Florida and just bought Castrol Syntec 10-40. You should only run this in warm/hot climates. Cold weather I would go with the 0-40.

I use Mobil 1 10 40 for higher mileage cars (79,000). Can purchase at WalMart for less that $25 for a 5 quart jug.

Brad,
can you get the SKU number from one of the jugs?
I'm trying to get my local Walmart to order it. They think it doesn't exist.
