For meats & produce & items on sale I do shop at local stores.

Walmarts in my city always have the 10/30 VR1 stocked & the 20/50 for those that use that.

I get the whole buy from a small business or locally thing, but when most those stores charge almost 2x as much for the same thing just to increase their profit, I chose not to throw my money away. Today buying local doesnt really mean what it used to, why pay more at auto zone for the same oil thats a lot cheaper at walmart? auto zone & other stores dont do anything special related to local markets. I know that subject can be touchy, but when its my money, I prefer to pay less for the same thing.
I get it, and Im not standing on a soap box preaching, I buy from Amazon, and my toolbox has stuff from Snap On and Temu. I make practical decisions with my money just like everyone else. So I'm not a shining example of buying quality American made items. And I buy that Mobil 1 from Walmart because they always have it. Its just cultural for me, I just hate that store. On top of that their website is trash. If I could snap my fingers and eliminate Walmart and country music I think the world would be a better place. Im sure there will be dissenting opinions on that.

Anyway back to the topic so we don't get too far derailed, I have found that Jegs motor oil is also a really good value for classic cars. Im assuming its probably rebranded from another brand, but obviously its not going to be on locally available shelves.
