FYI, Walmart is carrying the 5 quart jugs of 15-50 again. Picked up one today, $27 and change.

Should have got two. Now you're one qt short for 2 changes and 2 would have give you 3 with a quart for top off. And of course to make an oil thread interesting the new bottle may not come from the same dinosaurs rex and that would be a problem...

If you ever get to look at an oil analysis comparison between the two oils you will see that they are very very close.
