That's a "glamour spot" for sure, I go up there for work pretty regularly, also to Gettysburg & Salem Ave. area-be careful out there (whole west side of Dayton).

Got a good laugh. Next we'll see Absoult motor oil and Bacardi transmission fluid and Grey goose power steering fluid soon.

Well is does have a nice dash of iron in it- lol
alcohol goes in fuel, not oil
who knows, maybe they've fixed it since 2011, and now it's the best oil ever
The BP just 2 miles west of me has sold NUMEROUS oils listed on the PQIA site that have advisories on them. I complained to a lady working there one night. A WORLD CHAMPION moron tried to argue with me that junk was ok. He tried to back up and say well guys around here run it in their tractors. To which I told this nimrod that even tractors have standards for those motors. Plus they had Rotella 3 right there which would have been light yrs better than that garbage. In addition to this.... this supposed "mechanic" tried arguing with me whether or not my car has a timing chain. He was convinced that the VQ35 in my 08 has a timing belt. Ahh, negative ghostrider. Says, right in the manual it has a timing chain. No wonder his "shop" didn't stay in business. He was dumb as a stump.

And the price on it is probably around $3-$4/quart. When researching the company it says they operate a waste oil dehydration and recycling still.
Lawsuit talked about on here.

My work is on Germantown about half a mile south of Gettysburg. This area is a bit rough. I can think of four homicides that have occurred in the area over the past couple of years and the DG at Gettysburg and Germantown gets robbed on a regular basis. By the time you get as far north as Salem or even farther north to Needmore, you're pretty well out of the true hood.
OTOH, Germantown past Gettysburg heading toward downtown is an urban wasteland with plenty of boarded up houses, burned out houses and abandoned small apartment buildings. Sad when you consider that Dayton metro was a happening place back in the nineties, with plenty of factory jobs (three GM plants, Cooper Tire and many more smaller ones).

Thousands of gallons of everclear leave this city everyday. The only problem is it has about a 5% gasoline content so no one bothers with the railcar tankers sitting on a siding. Some dude did try to open one up with his pickup in a police chase but he missed the valve and only managed to destroy his vehicle. Had to be extricated with the jaws of life.
I see a lot of city Sunocos sell this [censored] here, they don't have to carry any specific oil I'm guessing for the most part.

Some of the reputable ones do make it a point to carry their suppliers flagship oil(s) though...
On a side note, does BP still bottle their own brand oil or is it all Castrol now?
It was called Visco but their site just lists Castrol...
