you can usually buy anything in bulk.. but if you want good stuff.. use amsoil 5w30, its fully synthetic, so its really good.. but it goes for like $4-5 a quart tho...

my dad used to buy a catron of the oil that was about 10-20 bottles or so because there was this place by us that used to change your oil for $5 if you provided the oil, but they closed so we cant do that anymore. i think you might be able to get it from an auto store if you ask.

You can buy Delvac 1 (Mobil 1's Heavy Duty stuff) in something like 4 gallon jugs. I don't know how light it goes though. Its made for semi trucks and fleet vehicles, but it can be used in cars.
I just buy the Mobil 1 5 quart Jugs, it Walmart charges the same for those as they do for 4 individual qt. bottles.
