Rotella T6 $5 a gallon?!?!

ninjamunky85 · October 27th, 2013, 11:46 AM

That's what the price was at my local auto-zone today. I told them that was the wrong price but since they couldn't get it to wring up for the right price that is what they charged me.

I bought 5 gallons. Also shell is running a promo right now where you get a $5 mail in rebate, so it's practically free oil. Might want to get to your local auto-zone and see what the price is, maybe there is a glitch in their system or something.

Yeah, that's what the price on the shelf was. Usually I buy it at Walmart because it's cheaper, but I didn't go there today cause I didn't feel like dealing with the crowd.

In the end I win.

Holy good deal! I just checked an autozone I happened to pass and it was $28.99 for a gallon.

Lmao somehow they got the $5 rebate confused with the actual price. Lucky you. You are set for several oil changes.

tfkrocks · October 27th, 2013, 03:05 PM

Lol you should've bought them out and resold them.

I thought about it but it didn't seem right. The manager was right there and he knew the price was way off. Guess they were too busy to fix it.

I was plenty happy walking out with all the oil I could carry for the price of one gallon.

It's funny I was just at my local AutoZone on Wednesday for a small headlight bulb purchase. All the employees were running around like crazy, because the District or headquarter mangers were having a meeting in the store. Would have been funny to see there reaction to oil being practically given away.
