I prefer Interstate batteries from Costco. No coupon, but they are very affordable.

Advance is closest auto parts store to me (unless the NAPA in the complete opposite direction is a few tenths of a mile closer), but it's tiny and they have stock issues. It's also halfway to another Advance and Autozone in a single shopping center.
They have Carquest brand 0W-16. I don't know if brands matter these days. The online order coupon can't be used on it. W/o the coupon, it's a little cheaper than the Toyota branded oil at Amazon Josh linked to (and I already ordered)

That's weird that the code can't be used with that oil. I've never seen that before with any product, except things that have already been discounted.
As far as brand, it wouldn't worry me at all for a daily driver. Mostly, oil is oil. For street cars, stuff that isn't used hard, it really doesn't matter at all. The exceptions are for engines that have really strict engine oil needs, like BMW's "grenade with the pin pulled" M-car engines. |
