It's because the price of lubricants is set on a periodic basis. I think every 6 months.

If you have any AutoZones in your area, they are closing out the Delo 30 wt. for .99 cents a gallon. You might have to call around to find it, but it is available at some stores. I just bought twenty three gallons for use in the summer. It might be a little thick for Michigan winters, but for summer use it would be fine. BTW: the 15W40 is still about $7.50/gal at AZ.
