A/C retrofit - WalMart

["Getty, Marc" <mgetty@dental.temple.edu>]

Speaking of WalMart, I think they stopped selling the 5 quart bottles of
Mobil 1. I went to three different WalMarts and none of them had any, and
their oh-so-helpful sales staff informed me "all we have is on the floor",
and WalMart does not sell any automotive products on their website.

I had to buy individaul quarts instead. Mobil 1 in 5 quart bottles was the
only reason I went to WalMart, now that they don't seem to have that anymore
I guess I'm completely out of reasons to go to WalMart! I can buy individual
quarts of oil just about anywhere.

Anyone out there know the story on this?
