G-Oil Synthetic Motor Oil Free after rebate at Walmart

If you go to http://getg.com/caranddriver , you can download a mail-in-rebate covering the entire cost of a 5-quart jug of G-Oil 5-30W synthetic motor oil. Yes, that means that the oil would be nearly free, with only tax stopping you from true freedom. You have to buy the oil from Walmart (I don't believe it's sold anywhere else), and it retails for $26.00 at the store.

A few details about the oil:

G-Oil seems to be a relatively new brand. It is a synthetic motor oil and at the moment it is only available at the 5-30W weight. As a new oil, there's bound to be some hesitation about its reliability and performance, but early reports from oil users have been promising.

Here are the steps:

1.) Buy a 5-quart jug of G-Oil 5-30W synthetic from Walmart .
2.) Download MIR form from http://getg.com/caranddriver .
3.) Chuck the form and receipt into the mail and wait 6-8 weeks for your check.

Here's the price break-down:

+$26.00 -- Shelf Price @ Walmart
+$2.15 -- Tax (8.25% in TX; varies by state, of course)
(-$26.00) -- MIR from G-Oil, not sure if it covers tax
--------------
Total = "Free" - Or $2.15 due to tax
