Hiya,

I recently posted about Royal Purple oil being available at reduced prices at AutoZone. I'm not sure how many stores are involved, but it seems they are dropping the Royal Purple line.
I found out yesterday that the price has dropped from $5.99 a quart to $3.99.
My '02 MCS seems to run quieter, get a little better mileage, and it may be my imagination (where I spend so much time), but the throttle response seems crisper.
Needless to say, I'm stocking up.
With gas prices going up, maybe I need to re-think selling Emily in favor of that '91 Mercedes Benz 420SEL I've been eyeballing!

Have a great day,
Hegira

 

I'll check my AutoZone again, so far, $7.29/qt.

I like it too and MINI seems to have gained a little extra zip...maybe.

 

I'm don't know what part of the world you're in, but I know AutoZone has a price-match policy. You might ask the dude (dudette?) at the parts counter to contact an AutoZone store in the Boston area. There's a boat-load of 'em.

 

3.99?! that's ridiculous!

 

As Janis Joplin once sang; "get it while you can"....

 

You have to be careful with price matching. I work at Advance Auto and we won't do it on antifreeze, oil, or R134. But still, 3.99? They very well might be discontinuing it at that price.

 

just a few weeks ago i saw it discounted at 599 a quart, 399 would be damn near theft

 

Its called a "blow-out", and they're doing it with some other oil brands (Exxon, Havoline, etc.).

 

i wonder if they're doing it here in socal. might give them and call and if so, stock up

 

3.99 here in NC also!!!!

 

dang, i work at an autozone where i live and it's close to $8 a quart! I'd love to only have to pay 6 bucks a quart for it.

 

Checked AutoZone again this morning, $7.29/qt.

 

Called local AutoZone and got 10 qts of 10-30 at $3.99.
Just missed by a day, they sold 40 qts of 5-30 to one person just yesterday at $3.99.

 

i read recently that greddy was the best oil next to mobile one then royal purple.. just putting it out there.. i use mobile one and works good for me..

 

$7.99 a quart in la
