Pentosin MTF2 = $2 per bottle

Don't know if this is a nationwide thing or if it's just local, but I picked up 3 bottles of Pentosin MTF2 at Advance Auto today for $2.15 per bottle (they're normally $20+ per bottle).. They're listed on the AA website for $28 per bottle.

Great time to try it if you haven't already.

I dont think that is a nation wide deal... I suggest stocking up. Buy the remainder of what that store has in stock before they figure it out lol

They are probably changing something, could be packaging or the formula. You should defiantly stock up.

All the auto parts stores do this once in a while. While I worked at AutoZone it happened once, I think it was Mobile 1, every type of oil we had in inventory was going for a $1 a quart all because they were changing there packaging. One dude bought over 200 bottles and the SOB came in like 15 minutes before closing, had to stay almost an hour past for that guy to checkout.

No problem. Sorry I had to buy the last 3 bottles at that store, glad you found some.

I could go around buying them up, but then fellow 86'ers like @wrh3 wouldn't be able to get any. It made my week spending $6 on a transmission fluid change (after spending almost $500 doing my spark plugs).
Just trying to spread the joy
