Valvoline Xtreme Blue

Black_Pstroke · May 20, 2012

I used to buy this stuff at NAPA, and one time I went in there they had it on sale so I bought enough oil to do 3 changes. Well my stock has run out and im needing to change my oil. However, when I called napa to get some more they acted like they had never heard of it. Please tell me they didnt stop making this stuff. So mainly just wondering where I should look to buy some. I called advance auto and Napa neither had it. Thanks for any info

Go to the valvoline oil change station. They sell it.

Don't have one of those local, thanks tho

The only other place I have seen it was at Wally world but iirc they were 1 qt bottles.

that might have to work I never really thought to look there, Ill have to check. I guess worst case scenario Ill just have to switch to another brand of 5w40 synthetic.

I would just stop by the napa, I know the ones around here carry it. Sometimes you just get the dumbest guy there that answers the phone.

i just bought it last week it wasn't on sale though and man its a big difference. My napa doesn't carry a lot of it everytime i go in there i buy it all. Just go back and ask again.

My local napa doesnt always have it either, so I stopped wasting the fuel to go there and check. I run Mobil 1 5w40, its awesome, way better than T6 in my opinion.

I just bought some from napa 2 weeks ago. Hope they didnt...

I usually buy it from o'reillys. It's the cheapest place I've found around here.

I doubt it matters much, but may help....it's Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme. Not sure if the way you worded it may have thrown the NAPA guy off or not. You never know. I use it. Always have.

I usually get mine from oriellys but just for grins I stopped in at the local valvoline quick lube and asked them how much I could get a gallon of the 5-40 extreme for. He said he had to look it up and then told me $42 a gallon. He then said that it was just over cost. It was pretty hard to keep from laughing in front of him. I'll continue to get it from oriellys. Lol

Any Cummins places near you? I got mine at Cummins Power South, but I doubt you have one of those due to the "South" part.

G Racing · May 21, 2012

I can get it from oriellys for $26 a gallon. I was just checking to see if the valvoline quick lube was any cheaper.

No valvoline didnt quit making it. NAPA carries it, call them up and for 5-40 synthetic valvoline, and if they cant find it see if someone else might know i just ordered some for tomorrow, I just explained to the place in town that i need the 4 gal not 2 like they carry. They can usually have it the next day so, so just call.

I just tried Napa here for PBE 5w40 and they only had 1 gallon, figures. Just went to Walmart and was surprised they had a shelf full of Delo 400le 5w40 synthetic, only $20 gallon. I've heard awesome reviews on this stuff so we will see how it runs.

Local Napa doesn't carry it, actually NO WHERE around here carries it. That, or every single place we checked was completely out. LOL Cummins Atlantic carries it.. but they didn't have any in stock. We grabbed up some Rotella T6 5w 40. Sure did fix the cold start issue associated with the FICM tune... Yes I know this is the 6.4 section

This is really starting to annoy me. I got back home yesterday and continued my search. Still came out empty handed. I went to napa, o reillys, a cummins service shop, and a freightliner service shop. At the freightliner shop they parts guy asked me what do you put that in. I said are u serious?? My last resort is to dig through the barn and try to find an old jug of the stuff take it in and set it on the counter and say can you get this? That or will the mobil or anything else work as good as the valvoline? I've ran the valvoline for several years but this is really getting annoying.
