It's wintertime and with it comes 2 things, 1. Mates seek to upsurge their oil bountys and 2. Men seek the annual "pilgrimage" to local auto parts store seeking that unicorn in the sky oil that is steeply discounted or even on clearance as a discontinued item!! I hit the motherload on a classic clearance oil and upon reading happily, I made phone calls, some were wrong leads or I was unable to complete a sale (had one guy tell me he was sending these units back to manuf or something). Then I was advised correctly by a guy over the phone about this one particular location that had over, get this, over 18 quarts and 4 of those one gallon jugs!! You would think I had an easy sale and guess what, the guy actually sold all those units for that astronomical low price!! For the price of some top tier oil and a filter (30), I got what amounts to 50,000 miles worth of oil!! Can you believe my bounty and booty, arrr me pirate bretheren, huh can ya?!
There are still many quarts out there. I got so much oil on me I actually failed to go to two locations yet still.. You see I spoke to the guy over the phone but he wanted to charge me 200.00 for all of his but that was a hardball one that I didn't show up for and yet another one who wanted to sell his quarts for 1.50 instead of the .85 cents but he only had 4 units. Kinda nickled and dimed me. They are out there but you have to find the right spot with an easy sell.
What do you guys think of my pilfering of 50,000 miles worth of oil in a matter of seconds and instantly creating my first oil stash! Anyone have similar stories of their first bounty and "kill"? OR how about the current Idemitsu stuff out there?
