Where in the good old USA you can buy 6 qts of Full Synthetic oil for $20 regularly ?

If a shop charges $65 for an oil change with 6 qts Full Synthetic and a brand name oil filter, they lost money on it every time. [/quote]

I buy my Kendall Full Synthetic from my local Conoco marketer and I pay $43.00 per case. That is NOT the jobber proce. They get it cheaper. That is appx $3.59 qt. If your car takes 5 qts, There's your < $20. I can only imagine the bulk discount and Kendall Full Synthetic is pretty good oil (IMHO)

Although my customers come to me when they have problems with their engines after warranty some of them go to the local dealer and it sometimes is cheaper there.. shop around most dealers have different prices

Hello, Excuse me for nit-picking FZ1 but it's not the "American way", it's the "World way". People all over the world pay others to do tasks. Yardwork, laundry, oil changes. Do you think a millionaire in Malaysia cleans his own toilet? Kira
