I agree with you 100% but I don't have to go to WalMart to get a "GREAT DEAL" !

When you break down the price for the M1 at Advance Auto Parts I pay $4.42 a qt. for Mobil 1 synthetic and the Mobil 1 Cartridge Filter $4.89 the regular price for this type of M1 Oil filter is $19.99 ea. ...
I got this deal during their M1 Oil Change Advertise Sale: 5 qts of M1 with a free Oil Filter (M1 Cartridge filters are excluded from this sale).. The Manager and I worked out this deal for when ever they have this M1 Oil Change w/ free oil Filter Specials , the reason I was charged for the M1 Filter was because they are excluded from this type special so the Manager over ride the sale and used my Military Discount on top of that .. He then said as I were leaving that if I ever needed oil when there are no M1 specials going on at that time he will honor that price any way...

So if I were to get the Oil from WalMart at $23.50 (5qts) + add around $6.50 or so for a qt to make 6qts for the oil change and then get a M1 filter if they still carried them which they don't but lets say they did then add $19.99 or even $18.00( because it's WalMart) that will = around $50.00 give or take a dollar or two (maybe)then the Tax on top of that , well then I'll stick with Advance Auto Parts plus I get a better Oil Filter for less out of them !!
