how much do u spend on oil?

ive always bought my oil from autozone for around $10 per gallon, but i just found out that bj's wholesale (like a costco) sells a case of 6 gallons of the same oil for around $50. i know its not a huge savings but it saved me a couple bucks.

how much do you spend on your oil? $50 for 6 gallons is the lowest ive found

***edit***

i also saw some 15w-40 oil made by coastal at advanced auto parts, i dont remember the price but it was really cheap. have any of you guys used this oil? coastal brand makes alot of grease products but ive never tried the oil.

I buy my Delo at Sams, usually 6 gallons for $45-50 and I can get Rotella for about $40-45 also.

Isnt Costal the company owned by Venezuela? I believe so, I wouldnt support that country no matter how cheap their oil is.

I usually buy about 1000 to 1300 Gallons at a time... so it is about $8000 -$10,000 ever 45-60 days...
I can't do the bottles because dealing with the trash is a little over-whelming!.. Hahaha...

Nothing, I scrounge up oil around the shop till I have enough for an oil change. Also I usually get the oil filters for free customers bring them back because they got the wrong one and opened the package.

I just went over to Rottella T syn 50 bucks for 3 gallons. I think its the best bang for the buck. I am sure someone will chime in about the great all mighty Amsoil but I am not leaving my oil in for 25k
