    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    Remember when synthetic engine oil came on the market and if you wanted it you would pay more than for conventional oil. Try finding conventional oil of any brand at a decent price now. I finally found 5 quarts of true conventional Valvoline for more than $40. F’ that
    why do I want to use conventional oil, cause I’m an old fart and that’s what I want.

    Strange they have it here in SC for less than 20 dollars at Walmart.

    Five Quart jug of 5W20 Conventional Engine Oil for $17.99.

    Ill bet its a synthetic blend and not an actual conventional. Conventional 5w-20 has been non existent at walmart for quite some time.

    Just checked again, I stand corrected it was 5W30 Conventional Motor oil, not 5W20. But it the point still stands 5W30 Conventional Engine Oil Valvoline $17.47 at Walmart.

    Or maybe it was a fluke... :shrug:

    All those that say ‘conventional’ read the info real close. Probably find they are a synthetic blend, bastards.

    Then that’s good for SC, other than the $40 Valvoline, which is unavailable in NY, I can’t find any Dino oil.

    All "regular" oil is a blend nowadays

    Hell even gasoline is 10% ethanol

    Hey Jimmy, it sure does suck to live in NY State. At least I’m upstate which is much more bearable but taxes and crap suck suck suck. One more year and I can move out
    Maybe to SC/NC
