Default Chevron Havoline Pro DS 0W-20 Full Synthetic Oil

Just picked up a 6-quart box of this oil at the local Walmart Superstore for about $22. It was priced even better than Walmart's Super Tech brand and it meets all the required specs. Be aware that the oil is contained in a plastic bladder inside the cardboard box it comes in. Be sure to follow the directions when opening it so you do not puncture the bladder.

Educate us on what does the bladder do? If it is packaging material then who cares if it gets punctured?

I think the oil is contained within a soft bladder inside the box. If you are not careful opening the cardboard box and slit the bladder you will have a messy oil spill/leak.
They did it to save plastic vs. having 6 quart bottles. https://www.chevronlubricants.com/en...motor-oil.html

I found the specs on the oil and it looks great. I may have to run over to Wal-mart for this stuff.

^^ Exactly. If you puncture that bladder, your new oil will leak out of the cardboard box all over you. Keep the sharp objects away, follow the instructions printed on the box describing how to open it and then pour the oil out of it, and you will be fine.
