Does anyone know where to buy oil in bulk? I’ve already got the price of my oil changes down by buying the washers and filters in bulk. Now, I just need to get the price of my oil down to really justify the time spent doing it at home. I’m looking for brand name, non synth oil. Anyone know somewhere that sells in bulk and would sell in quantities of ~20L?

this place sells mobil1,

Exxon, Mobile 1 and Esso are all the same company.

you kind of have to have a p.o # though or buy alot (at least 5 boxes which has 6 bottles inside), they deal in large quantities, my dealership picks up alot of it once a month or so.

I buy oil for my diesel in 20 liter tubs. Costs me 25 bucks to fill up when empty does an oil change and leaves me some leftover.

I didn't check Mobil but the XD-3 is Full synthetic and was about $22 each. The Esso XD is a HDEO and will destroy Mobil anyways. Don't waste your money on it.

Well you were making it sound like you have to buy 10 drums of the stuff or be in some special P.O. club to buy there. You go in and pay, and leave with your oil. As much or as little as you want.

a drum of oil?? lol and i've never heard of a parts order club..,

i was just saying the big garage there has all mobil and esso stock and they deal large quantities.

i think buying a handfull of oil there is wasting their time, go there and buy alot and store it for your regular oil changes

What's HDEO? Why is it so much better than Mobil?

i didnt say buying a whole drum of oil, that would be preposterous for anyone to do, but i wouldn't drive ther ejust to buy a 4L jug of oil, buying 3 or mor ejugs at a time seems mor elike it
