VR-1 20/50 oil pricing. Any sales?

Best I can find is $7.99 a qt or $39.99 for the five qt jug. Any leads for a case price? I’m out and will soon need an oil change.

Joe Bob. Are you sure you want VR1?

From another thread:

I was browsing another oil thread and found this post by Bill Verburg. Looks like some significant changes in our favored oils.

here is the latest detailing changes in Brad Penn and VR1

LN is recommending the newest line of Driven oils, specifically Driven GP-1 20w-50 or 15w-40 for the aircooled cars

I see no change in M1 15w-50 and will continue to use it in my cars.

Looks like an Ad for Driven oil. I will continue to use Deep Purple 10-80 oil.

Will second the Amazon recommendation, price goes up and down but hovers around $35 for 6qt. Sometimes Autozone has a sale but it's infrequent.

Same. For some reason Amazon wont deliver the oil to my home or work addresses. Lets me add to cart, then "cannot ship to this address". No issues ordering from Walmart even 24 quarts at a time.

Select the 2 pack on Walmart and it is $8.76 for 2. I just ordered 6 of the 2 packs and it was
$51.06 with free delivery by Dec 4th. (4.26 per quart)
Or pay $1.50 more to get 2 day delivery...

And the strange thing is - the 16 Qts that were delivered to me were individual. They weren't shrink wrapped as a two-pack, qty of 8.

I have no clue where you guys are finding VR-1 20/50 for these prices at Walmart. I've looked and can't find it at your prices.

This is what shows up in the app on my phone when I searched via Google.
Click on the 2 pack option.

I clicked on the 2 pack and liked the price a lot more...

Yes, $8.76 for each 2 pack.

Screenshot of my receipt shows 12 quarts. I ordered 6 of the 2 packs.
