    Usually do PM services in places like Loves or TA but im going a different route this time around. I have someone who can do the labor, just need to provide parts. Got all the filters already and just need 11Gallons of oil (10w30)

    Where do you recommend I buy the oil? Any brands i should stay away from?

    Thank you

    Walmart will probably be the cheapest. I have bought from local parts stores when it was on sale too.

    Im a local driver but use Express Oil in Jax, FL. For Mobil1 syn, oil filter and full lube, its around $400. I know that seems high but when you factor in all your parts and labor and, makes sense to me.

    I get 55 gallon barrels of shell rotella T4 from a local shop. End up paying around $900-1000 a barrel or so bit less if they are running a special. Sometimes you can get gallons cheaper though. When that happens i just buy out the limit or entire stock and dump them into the barrel.

    Sam's Club or Wal-Mart. But I am using 15W-40. Bought Mobil the other day for 12.12 a gallon. +the SC tax they add on. I think that is like .08 more cent per gallon. Wal-Mart pricing on oils are usually hard to beat.

    Delvac from Walmart. Filters from various Dealers. You can sometimes save quite a bit buying filters by the case online or wherever.

    I bought an entire pallet of each during covid. Paid about half the normal price. Bulk discounts are always a nice thing.

    My retired Uncle was working part time at a storage facility, a few years ago. They had a new 55 gal drum of Kendall or Havoline maybe? Anyway they wanted $100 for it. Like a Dummy, I passed.
