Default Walmart

Went to the Mobil 1 site and found SAE 0W-40 is sold at most walmarts. Meets 502-00.Give them a call to confirm they stock it.

Default OK I'll bite. What's wrong with Wall Mart.

And please don't give us that (non) union party line crap.

Default I hate unions

Ask the auto industry what the number one reason is they aren't competetive? Or the nuclear industry at Hanford why the place will never get cleaned up and cost taxpayers billions a year.

Unions are just organized crime. Not saying politicinas are any better thogh. But I hate Wal-mart for this reason: They ruin the mom and pop store economies of small towns.

Don't be so hard on Unions, They are not the problem. Labour is only 10% of the cost of a vehicle so they have little effect. Yes they go too far sometimes but so do the executives

I have never been a member of a Union and am long past working for someone for a hourly wage etc but the only reasons a normal work week is 5 days, 40 hours and some are paid overtime, have sick days and weekends off is because of Unions. Watch a Christmas Story ... It's a labour story.

If Unions are crooks, if the fellow making 30 per hour is a crook, what do we call the Executives who pay themselves 10 or 15 million dollars, while their companies loose billions and think they are worth it?.... Obscene is what I call it LOL

Oh, and Walmart Sucks

I agree 100%. Its just like politics, polarized to pander to the edges. nobody can seek the middle for fear of losing face.
