WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I was perusing the WalMart and Advance Auto sites today. WalMart has the Motorcraft 5Qt jug at about $18.50, so I checked over at Advance Auto. $4.95????? Unbelieveable! So to test it out, I placed an order for 4 jugs online. Let's see what happens when I go to pickup the order. Prepared to face rejection, but if it works, hey, I ain't complaining. Probably use the old "Not responsible for typographical error" excuse. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_5w-20-synthetic-blend-motor-oil-motorcraft_8030012-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks WWW!!! I just used Paypal and ordered 6 for instore pickup. Lets see what happens. This is obviously a huge price mistake!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 What zip did you use? Showing as 21.99 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm 48170. Just picked up 6 5qt jugs for $31.98!!!!! Guys at store were a little shocked and new it was a price mistake. Gonna go pickup the 5 more I just ordered at a different store. Think I'm set for oil changes for a few years!!!! Also, I've been ordering my 500s oil filters from Advanced for a while. I think they are just under 4 bucks each with coupon codes when you order them 4 or 5 at a time. Thanks again WWW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Damn, I better run my butt over to Advanced Auto. At that price, it's unreal ! Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Joe Joe, it's an online mistake so make sure you order them online, pay with Paypal or CC and do instore pickup. Pretty sure if ya just walk into a store to purchase them they will ring up at full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Glad to hear it. Still showing $4.95 around 208xx ZIPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just picked up my order. Not without getting some heck and some disbelief from the cust reps. They even called the cust svc on the phone to verify. So I guess this price was an error after all. BUT to their credit, they did give me the full order. Hope u guys have already claimed what you needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I got 4 and they didn't even question it. 4 was the max they let me order online though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I was able to pick up five...took a few tries to get the irder through then the pick up was messed up since the computer system was down...luckily the guts were ok with just making a hand written note that i picked mine up. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think maybe that's all my advance had. Cause I tried another and 3 was the max. I guess the deal is only available in certain zip codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Wasn't available in mine but if I cleared out my history and went back I could use one of the other zip codes. Then at check out I selected a local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Just ordered 5... and picked 'em up. According to the store manager, these are a closeout item (just the 5qt containers, they'll continue to stock the 1qt), when they're gone, they're gone.

c_bova Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I found another advance near by that had 4 more so I bought those. Think 8 is enough, good for about 6.5 oil changes, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Good insight, Crusty. The particular store I went to, I always had trouble with. I should have just used the store that is real nice to its' customers, just twice the distance and time for me. But I guess worth it!

I guess he was right cuz it's still listed at $4.95. Might have to get greedy today and add a few more to my 11!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Can you still add to your cart? For me it says not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Looks like maybe it was a price mistake after all. I already had 3 in my cart but now it will only let me purchase 1 at that price. I tried to add more and got the unavailable message.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 ya, looks like they've clamped down on it in our area as well. Not able to add to cart at all (grayed out). Oh well, good while it lasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Thanks again WWW. To bad only a few of us Do-It-Yourselfers saw your thread. Edited November 20, 2012 by fishx65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I am hoping that people saw it and just did not post back? I don't know if there was a better way to advertise it? Anyways, most welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerjmr33 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I ordered mine (4 of the 5qt bottles) Sunday night. Went to pick them up on Monday and the clerk brought me 4 qt containers. I had printed out the ad along with my invoice and showed it to him--he sait that was the deal of the year and got me my 5qt containers! 4 oil changes will last me(at the rate I drive now) for 2 years.
