    Not the best of price, but I think I'll head there this morning. I got some gift cards recently.

    The TSC in Ashtabula, Ohio had it a few weeks ago. I think it was the 2 for $12 (maybe 10). I ordered 4 gallons for curbside pickup, should be good for a bit.

    After I ran out of Itasca I bought some last fall from the NAPA that my friend runs, I also got some winter weight too it was .$23 gallon more. Regular on the left , winter on the right. The part/stock number is in the upper rh corner of the blue sticker. It wasn’t too long after that I went into Menards & saw the FVP sale for $4.99 after the rebate. I called Menards customer support & inquired if the FVP oil I bought was summer or winter & they said it was all season. I can say the NAPA is tackier than the FVP but at twice the price I don’t believe it’s worth it. NAPA winter weight is $3-$4 gallon less than the Stihl winter weight around here.

    I did a quick bar oil comparison out of curiosity today. Stihl $12.50 per gallon vs. Menard's house brand (FVP) at $6.50 per gallon. I suppose by adding a can of STP, the price will be close.

    My wife was passing by Tractor Supply today so she swung in and to her shock they had 4 gallons of County Line bar oil. You can bet she grabbed all 4 of them which totaled $25!
