Menards Stores: 5-Qt Pennzoil Full Synthetic Motor Oil + $2.10 Menards Credit Expired

I've read your post 5x now and I still can't decipher your incoherent and drunken babbling.

Based on your post, I pulled up the latest ad on their website. There was no "paid" reference on any item in the ad. They do show a "sale price" and a "price after rebate". The ad also says
that the rebate is "in the form of a merchandise credit check" and that it is "valid on future in-store purchases only". Seems pretty clear to me. I would obviously prefer a check which could be deposited as cash but those aren't the term of sale.

I actually have an accounting background and there are other instances of rebates being in the form of credit on other purchases made.

Yes they asterisk the heck out of it, but my point remains... In no situation are you getting the advertised price. Think about the shopper who only goes once in their life for the deal here, show me how they get it for 16.99... It's impossible yet that's the "deal" in red print as it reads how much US dollars you are "saving" .

It's not possible to get the price advertised after rebate because it's not a traditional rebate, it's only on a future purchase as a coupon off certain items, and you even pay postage to receive it.

It's actually identical to "Kohl's Cash" or similar (without postage) but you never see Kohl's subtracting a future earned Kohl's cash from the advertised price, and they certainly don't call it a rebate and interchange it as if it's US dollars.

Far worse class actions out there than this would be. It's the definition of deceptive advertising. Harbor Freight got royally rolled compared to this, they were caught "deceiving" us by not leaving their prices high enough, long enough. Basically the sales were too often to justify the advertised savings over full price. They nearly went bankrupt over that. Now compare to what Menards is doing!

You consider 80ppm and 53ppm Moly to be "high moly count?"

Weird ... my blackstone test of the Pennzoil Platinum is completely different than that.

BS is notorious for having incorrect measurements and often needs re-tested. They are easily the worst out of the big 3-5 labs that test.

What other companies exist and which do you recommend?

Mine was still $23 and it will be a little less after rebate. Did I miss something.

Ok but would rather just buy Kirkland oil for cheaper I think

Kirkland is of course a good buy at $15 a jug, but only one flavor (5w20) [is in stock at my warehouse, and is coincidentally on sale today, 2 jugs for $30] and not all SD peeps have memberships. Can't beat Pennzoil in my experience.

Well, you'd certainly love the YouTube channel called the car Care, not because he is an expert Toyota mechanic and is especially into Lexus three and four series

And I must agree to disagree with you sir. I would never let my oil go $5,000 mi. You're taking a car that is where several thousand dollars and stretching you frugality down to $5,000 mi for $30?

I use Pennzoil oil but I don't use this. I use their gas to liquid formulated Pennzoil ultra Platinum which costs about 28 per 5 quarts and with my $12 filter I'm up at $40 and I'm going to blow your mind. Here I change my oil every thousand miles for the first 5,000 mi of engine life to remove all the sub 30 micron metal shavings that get thrown into suspension, bypass your bypass valve and pass straight through your filter media.


In other words, don't be cheap by Pennzoil ultra Platinum and change your oil every 2,000 mi .. good Lord..."thecarcarenut" goes on ad infinitum on how Toyota needs to change all their manuals cuz I believe they have $6,000 on some of the light duty intervals and that's just not going to do it. You've got to change your oil filter at least once every 6 months to a year, especially if you're using a cellulosic media without a wire back mesh. For whomever said, I'd like to buy it for cheaper. Come on $4 per quart don't be insane. It's probably the same methane to petroleum backwards gas to liquid construction oil base with a different additive package in it.

People are so cheap on this site. CHEAP... If you bought the Pennzoil ultra Platinum and changed it out at 3,000 mi sure it's $10 more per 5 quarts is $2 more a quart but you get the most advanced protection and iraase motorcycles and I only use Pennzoil ultra Platinum in my vehicles and Bikes.... You know you can use glycerin as well. It may be a bit viscous but I think it's less than $4 a quart.

Shoot a little Dawn dishwashing soap in there and a little molybdenum and zinc boom you got your additive package
