My local Aco Hardware has SP syn blend oil on sale for 2.33/qt.
My neighbor has a gift card there, and would like to pick up a few cases for his 2008 Cobalt. He does quite a bit of stop and go driving for his commute (about 40 miles total), and would like a little more protection for his car. My brother uses this oil in his Caliber with great success, but he mostly does freeway driving. I've helped mold him into a bit of a car person, but he is on a tight budget...went from nearly no oil changes to 5k dino runs...
I haven't found any UOAs for Service Pro, so I'm not too sure how long he can run it. I thought about having him run to our local Auto Value store and pick up a few quarts of SP's dexos 5w30 to top off the change (so 4/qts syn blend 1qt full syn)
If this sounds a bit crazy...it kinda is. But teaching someone car care can be tough....
