Oil? by ateixeira

I had sticker shock when I went to buy a quart of oil last week - $2.79 for a quart and that was the generic! Yikes.
 
I did the math and it would cost me more to do it myself vs. use the Goodyear place with the $19.99 special, even with their $3 enrivonmental fee.
 
My Sienna takes 6 quarts, plus the filter is $8 plus at the local auto supply store, nearly $12 for a FRAM. I found them on-line for about $6 each, and ordered some. So 6 * $2.79 plus $6 equals about $24 with tax.
 
The tire place said they would not charge the $3 if I recycled the oil filter myself, so I save a few bucks and the labor is free.
 
Anyone find a bargain please share.

Oil seems to go on sale a lot too but there's not much listed at FatWallet, except some Pennzoil Synthetic at Walmart on sale (today is the last day). Supposedly a buck a quart after coupons and rebates. link

I hate waiting for rebates, though, that sometimes don't come.
 
Hey, remember that $5 gas card from Chevron? My fault for hesitating, perhaps, but by the time I found a Chevron the card did not work. So they mailed it to me, but it either expired, or just did not work.
 
I'll shop Costco and buy by the case, maybe. Can't be more than $33 for a case of 12.

lol, that's their plan I'm sure. I got a $10 one last week from a memory purchase and I put a reminder in my computer so I'd be sure and spend it. That one from Pennzoil expires in a few months, so you know they are counting on most people forgetting to use the gift card or not bothering to fill out the paperwork in the first place.
 
Then again, the states are so broke a lot of them are going after unclaimed rebates now under their abandoned property laws.

I'm off to Walmart to buy Pennzoil.

No bottles with rebates on the cap at my Walmart. Guy working in auto said he hadn't seen any. He would have bought it for himself if he had seen it at $5 per quart.
 
I wonder if it's in specific zones.

Bummer. There were comments from others that the rebate hang tag forms were missing. Not sure if it was limited to certain areas or not. I just skimmed about 20 comments and they were available in TX but not in CA, for example.

Had you gone to the Link, clicked on it & then clicked on the rebate form, printed it-
 
Then you all have it no matter where you live.

The way I read it was that you had to have the hang tag from the bottle in order to get the WalMart rebate. link. People were griping at FatWallet because they couldn't get the deal without the hang tag. I think they were stacking rebates.
 
Now I see that there's a separate Pennzoil 5 quart promo going through November too. $15 off synthetic, $10 off SUV oil and $5 off plain ol' dino. (Pennzoil pdf file)

Thanks for the tip Steve: I just printed the rebate form, went to the Pennzoil web site and found a dealer about three miles from my home in NJ. Just called them and made an appointment. My 2007 Honda CRV is due for it's "second" oil change, so I am going with the synthetic this time. Again, thanks for the tip.
