Just grabbed a couple 2.5 gallon jugs of Rotella T5 for $14/ea. Also saw all the Quaker State and Mobil 1 boxes in the above head racks. Actually this store already had the Mobil 1 High Mileage varieties on the shelf

Nothing obvious. Will make a fill marking on the reservoir tank at the current cold level to see if there’s any change going forward
