Pep Boys, 6 GALLONS 5W-30 $7

See what happens... have my receipt.

I work for generator maintenance company. We get 15w-40 bulk oil (5 gal buckets on a pallet) from a local dealer at 6 bucks a gallon. I would imagine if you buy 6 gal you get at 7$ per gallon for this 5w-30 synthetic.

Just got an e-mail saying my order was cancelled at my request????

I did not cancel anything.

Update************************

Spoke to corporate and was told this is what Pep Boys pays for the product to stock their service bays and is not available for retail sale...

Also was told I was among a number of calls and offered a $10 gift card for my inconvenience...

So it looks like the end of the road... can't really go for bait and switch and accept the gift card.

Darn it. I was hoping this would work out for you guys as it was a heck of a deal.

That's crappy for pep boys to not honor the price as it was thier mistake.

I had a friend that actually got a round trip airline ticket for 99 cents to Florida plus taxes.

It was a glitch but the airline honored all the tickets bought and paid for in a 21 minute period.

Last month, Love's Truck Stop chain had Rotella T6 full synthetic 5w40 for sale at 2 gallons for $24 or $26. Some folks had rebate slips also that offered, I think, $4-5 off a gallon. They were getting full synthetic 5w40 for single digit pricing per gallon. These kinds of things crop up once in a while.

Looks like no one was able to take delivery at Pep Boys?

The 24 gallons I bought would have left me in good shape going forward.

Thats good pricing.

I pay ~$25 for gallon jugs of T6, and about the same for 5qt jugs of mobile or Valvoline full synthetic for the gassers.

But even single digit price per gallon dont compare to the apparent error that pep boys had.....of $7 for 6 gallons. Which is just a tad over a buck a gallon

I,m kinda surprised at folks trying to take advantage of a very obvious error, on someones part.
Everyone likes to get deals, but at some point, they are steals.
I would think, that somewhere deep down in the fine print, they have their behinds covered to take care of errors like this one here.

As mentioned... one of my coworkers booked a flight to Florida and it charged his credit card 99 cents... it was legit and he took the trip... the actual cost was more with airport fees but the flight part was 99 cents.

Never know anymore with marketing and publicity... sometimes a deal is simply a deal.

Have you ever bought auto parts like oil, oil filter, air filters or spark plugs and paid nothing? I have because the rebate covered the entire cost of the product or nearly so...

Just look at the Harbor Freight business model... free LED flashlights, 9 pc Screwdriver Set, etc...
