I dont have any dealers near me which sucks but after buying to dollar for amsoil series 3K and shipping on top of that its not that big of a deal to pay shipping.
Perhaps, but there is a distribution warehouse fairly near me and I have business that direction periodically. So for me, it could represent a significant savings on a small purchase.
Last time I checked via an email with another member, he mentioned it was a two case minimum at Schaefer.
To suit your request, I hope that's not the situation. Maybe he was wrong about that.
Call salesrep and get a price.
I'm close to St.Louis and it was just under $4 a qt of Syn 5w40 last fall.
M1 is about $5.
I have run M1(pre Bitog) in my v8 Tundra and I would rather use Scheaffers.
I still have amsoil series 3K which by ear is an awesome oil hardly any noise comming from the engine. Even if the UOAs come back awesome i cant see myself paying $9-10 a qrt.
