I said I was done with the AAP sale at 18 qts but blast it now if you don't all have me wanting to add 6 qts of BC!

I wouldn't know a Bentley if one ran over me.

How is that different from the thousands of people being able to see your license plate on the street every single day?

Prior to the internet, you had to fill out forms and make specific requests. The digital age changed that.

I am sensitive to this issue because I have been the target of threats. Crazy people in another town rarely have the opportunity to view my license plate. Internet combers can find all sorts of things.

Those Texas winter starts must be bloody murder! You should probably be using half 0w-20 and half MMO.

Sorry, just giving you a hard time. It looks like you got a smoking deal on that oil. If it were that price up here, I'd buy it without a second thought. And thanks for the pictures. I haven't seen the stuff up here yet, and it's unique how they identified the A3/B4 right up front.

By the way, I've used 5w-40 synthetics in -40 without any issues. A few nights ago, we fell below -30 C, and my car was outside for many hours with conventional 5w-30 in it. The car and I both survived.

So i had to take action and find something or at least get some oil for my tundra.I came across something strange "Castrol Edge 0w40"last time I ever seen this oil was in Germany in a big gold 5 liter jug. so it caught me and Sure enough it was LL01 approved. So [censored] I took 8 of them for the price of 38.00!!! The Whole Time Driving home i was contemplating to return the oil. I never used 40W and its winter time here in Houston so my main concern was cold start's even tho its not extremely cold. I get home open the garage up let my bulldog hang out in the garage while i changed my oil and was ready to go.I Noticed when I cut the car on the first time it sounded a bit diff.So i took it for a drive,My Butt Dyno felt like it had more pep then before.and sure enough my car liked the new oil i have. I will most deff send this oil out for an analysis.!

Man it is important that it is 0W40. 0W40 or 0W30, you will have same pumpability during cold start. Also, man you LIVE IN HOUSTON

We sure do! most of the time its stocked in the back of the store. and you have to ask for it Most people Think your asking for Straight Thirty. when you ask for it. I think I had to Sit and tell them what cars use that oil.

So for me, I do it vita the bolt - wipe the top of the drain pan.
Screw the cap on....and transport it to the local gas station to rececycle.
MUCH faster imo than the extractor..


If you let gravity drain the tube, thats super easy to clean, and no need to wipe out a pan which takes a lot of paper. Self-contained is nice.

Not really. Lift up one end of the hose and give the extractor a few pumps and the remaining oil will flow from the tube to the extractor.

Not sure what extractor you have. Mine fits nicely on the floor behind the front seat. No need to use a separate container for transport.

Agree.. I use the Topsider which is essentially a modified gas can. No need to transfer.
