    They won't ship to you? I usually buy the box of six 1 quart containers and they ship it for free.

    Weird. Maybe it’s because I always get it on sale. It’s like $29 shipped to me.

    Yea, my buddy in NM says he pays $22 and change in the store there. Since I no longer get the free oil changes I will be doing it myself. Need to start buying those supplies.

    Check out Walmart. They’re pretty damn cheap. I bounce between there and Costco. All depends who is cheaper.

    Well, I hear Amazon has some deals too occasionally. I want to replace the plastic oil filter housing with a metal one too. Lastly, I am considering the drain valve replacement.

    10,000+ Sample Study On Motor Oil Supports What Consumer Reports Concluded A Decade Ago
    As long as the oil weight and certifications match what your car needs, there is no point in paying extra for a brand name.

    I've been running Walmart SuperTech full synthetic in my vehicles for many years now (+20) with no lubrication related issues.

    I'm actually switching to conventional valvoline starting today. I noticed a small leak coming from my oil pan, and I believe it's from switching to synthetic at such a high mileage. I've read it cleans out the sludge, or maybe it's the uniform molecules of synthetic seeping between the seals. Either way there're a lot of people that say switching back to conventional stops the leak so it's worth a shot.

    If you lwt the leak go you wont need to fluid film the frame. It will get a regular coating of oil.:boink:

    I was wondering where all that e85 made with soy is going. They make it up tge road from me, but soy based freezes here so they ship it out.

    I've used valvoline in all of my vehicles since I started driving. First in the biz.
