Autobarn conveniently had Valvoline XLD Classic on sale for $11.99 last night when I popped in.

The one local to us has gone the way of the dodo. After all once SCA moved in across the court, the writing was on the wall.
It was a long, slow and agonising demise.
Cheers

Autobarn seems to be a much better shop than Supercrap?
My opinion...

We've just had an Autobarn open up near me, and it's not far from an SCA that's been here for years. There has always been one here in Geelong, but it's right over the other side. Autobarn is much better, and usually cheaper?!

Yes. I think the Supercheap mame is a little dated as a guide. Shopping their isn't an automatic way to save money, but I do like that I can get heavy workshop tools any time on a whim...

I do enjoy Autobarn, the sales staff seem to be more interested in helping than supercroix, oh and easier on the eye. Haha.

I got a few litres last year and the year before when it was 9.99 a bottle

I seen it in the cataloge last week

Worst place to get oil from is super crap and aldi when they have it

Me uncle when off his brain when he brought 3 bottles for $19.99 a bottle at aldi and told me to get some and said why when I got some from auto barn for $9.99 earlier in the year

I haven't seen XLD classic stocked in any auto stores for a while, and I thought it was being phased out.
Just seen an ad on telly for autobarn, they have it on sale for 12 bucks again?? Might have to go and have a look at the local tomorrow.

It no longer gets a mention on the Valvoline webiste. Another case of us being upsold the the more expensive Premium?

I wonder if it's exclusively sold through Autobarn?
