bulk oil pricing?

[sparkerauto]

What are you guys using for bulk oil and what are you paying per gallon? Trying to figure out if im getting over charged. Thanks!

[HarrytheCarGeek]

Depends on the product. These guys have good consistent products that have checked out on the lab samples I have done. http://www.weberoil.com/index.php

 

Call them up and ask them for a quote. Although you couldn't use them as they may not be local to you.

phynny,

Do you have a product code for that? We use Valvoline and pay about $2.00 more per gallon.

I had a competitor with a problem with condensation in the bulk tank. He didn't ruin anybody's engine but it made me rethink the savings of bulk oil vs just buying quarts. The last 50 or so gallons in his 275 gallon tank were used by me as waste oil because of the water in it. That presented another problem as new oil doesn't burn too good but I diluted it. Anyhow I went back to quarts after seeing that mess.

I get my 55 gallon drums from Petroleum Services Company. Coastal Syn. Blend comes to about $1.90 a quart. Sunoco 0W-20 Full Syn. comes to about $3.43 a quart. Looks like I could be saving some more. Those prices include shipping by the way. Are you guys purchasing in bulk larger than 55 gallons?

I bought 10 - 55 gallon drums the first time, the second fill up they just pumped oil in my drums and saved me $.50/gal. That was NOCO, I also have a 275 bulk tank that I used to get filled. Now I buy cases of quarts same price.

We buy Mobil special in 55 gal drums and pay around $6.50/gal I'd have to pull the paperwork to double check

 

my bigger concern is full synthetic to meet higher quality European mark standards. we buy Fuchs VW/Audi 505, mercedes 229.3, bmw longlife 5w40 or 5w30 we buy in 5 liter jugs by the case, costs us $31/jug mercedes 229.5, vw/audi 507 for new diesels is in 4 liter jugs and runs us $29 ea

 

we can buy in drums and it would be cheaper but don't have the space for more drums at the moment.

For you guys using Mobile special, would that be the same as Mobile Clean? My supplier said I'm getting Mobile clean and that it is a synthetic blend. I've been with the same supplier for 15 years. Sounds like I'm getting shafted. I'm paying 2.42 per quart. Which is like 9.68 a gallon.
