Ya, what Moose said.

I remember when I first started working on the family truck, think I was 12-13 yrs old, ya could get a case of oil and filter and air filter for $15-20

If you want full synthetic oil with 4 quartz your going to be paying around $50 for it. Also if you want a long lasting filter instead of the basic 3,000 mile filter lets say the ones that last 5,000 to 7,000 miles your going to be paying around $30 for it. Well the price does varie depending what filter your vehicle needs. Also lets not forgot what company your buying from. I generally stick with Fram oil fillers and Pennzoil synthetic blend (This is not full Synthetic) oil. I just want to put the word out about IF YOU ARE A RACER, DO NOT GET ROYAL PURPLE OIL!!! Royal purple is one of the worst oils I have ever used. Despite this happening to me, I had many other racing buds have their engines just eat up Royal Purple.The main problem with Royal purple oil is that the oil viscosity is to thin. Also all those claims that Royal Purple made about increasing horsepower is such ridiculousness. O another thing that some Royal Purple fans hyped about to me is that it saves you more gas too. Well I tried it in my car which it can literally tell me the average mpg I am getting on the road as well as the current mpg when I am drive at that moment and what I found was nothing special about it at all. When using Royal Purple oil my mpg actually went down 2mpg high way and 3mpg in city.  So I just want you all to stay away from that stuff. Not worth the money whatsoever.

Yep, same oil and oil filter brand I use although that price will vary by which Walmart you visit (Might be why Hazman pays $50). My last oil change I paid $30 for the gallon and about $12 for the filter because I went to O'Reillys and they're not the cheapest but they have everything I need. Walmart doesnt carry my filter.

Also I totally agree that Royal Purple is overrated, not worth the money and the purple color is just a dye that breaks down once you run it in your engine.

I hate going to WalMart but the prices on their syringes and test strips for my diabetic cat are so much cheaper than anywhere else that I go there for them and pick up some oil while I'm there. Get my Wix filters at a local parts store.
 
Agree about the Royal Purple, haven't ran any of their motor oil but I tried their manual transmission oil and wasn't impressed. Using MotorCraft (Ford) synthetic in the tranny now, most everyone on Miata net that have tried it think it's as good or better than Redline.

Why is it so cheap online? But when I go to my local Walley World the prices are around like I said. I should put a complaint
for false advertisement.  Hmm maybe it varies on location. I know the cost of living in certain areas are more than others.

I've seen the Mobil1 5qt locally at a couple other stores (BiMart, Coastal) for under $30, don't know why it's so much more for you.
Does your local Walmart have any competition? When Eagle hardware (now Lowes) came to our town their prices weren't that great until Home Depot opened a store.
 
 

Eh... toyotas are easy? At least in my experience so far
