For real. Lower cost per unit to the manufacturer. Easier for any ongoing maintenance program. Those of us with multiple cars would benefit for sure and it would make AutoRX more attractive. Look at ChinaMarts success with the "jugs". Pennzoil Platinum is $20 bucks per 5 quart jug versus almost $6 bucks per quart right now. If there was no "jugs" of Pennzoil Platinum does anybody on this board think it would be a "darling" at $6 bucks per quart?

I bought my Pennzoil Platinum for $30 for five qts. and a Pureone filter...
The 5W-30 weight at least is still the apple of my eye on sale...

WalMart has it $20 in the 5quart jugs this morning.

In that vein ( discount based on multiple bottles at the time of purchase) why he doesn't allow a running log of purchases that also equal up to a discount? In other words...If I purchase a bottle a month should I not get the 12th bottle free or something like that? I am just thinking out loud here guys.
I'm with you on this.........
Bulk size Frank! Bulk size Frank! Bulk size Frank!

I think that the TAXI test shows that ARX can save you money. That was with a cleaning and rinse, followed by a 4 fluid ounce maintenance dose.
Well I received 3 more bottles of AutoRX today and will continue with the 4oz maintenance dose in the cars/truck. I have come to the conclusion based on hours of reading that AutoRX is the way to go. Furthermore it also returns some really great UOA's when used in the maintenance dose. I just don't read these type of statements with LubeControl LC20. Thanks for everybody's comments.
I have no idea what costs are associated with 12 oz bottles vs larger ones, but my guess is that he is staying with the 12 oz bottles to keep costs down, actually. Re-designed labels and acquiring larger bottles and someone to bottle it all takes time and upfront money in most cases. He is not as large an operation as some folks may think, and I'm sure he has his reasons for not "super-sizing" his product yet. However, I can imagine that it is available to folks in the commercial printing business in larger containers in case you want to inquire with him about that. I believe it may be the same product as the one we know as Auto-Rx, yet, who knows?.......

I think you may have hit the nail on the head WRT obtaining larger sizes via inquiry through 3-Rx for printing presses. It is probably the same formulation, and IIRC Frank may have actually said so somewhere.
Another option if you have some money lying around is to ask for a quote on a case of 24 bottles which is what I did a couple of years ago. The cost per bottle went WAY down and so I snagged a case.
