What's the appropriate price for a Group III oil?
We know $4 a quart is too much.

People here know they have little synthetic in them but people don't and are willing to spend some more $$$ for the product even though its not really worth it. The local Mobil mart sells Mobil 1 for over $6 a quart.

IMHO, no one needs to use any special oil or any special anything, just flush once and awhile and change often to keep clean. As far as why I don't say, several reasons, one is that I just started selling it, and I no site supporter... there are more reasons, but I'm sure most of you have some kind on opinion already if you looked at my testing results and "Driving conditions"... The one right now is a CF/SJ, I do have some newer specs but I still have a lot of the oil from a long time ago I'm getting to... Often times I mix or I Fill with one and top with another, sometimes mixing three buckets in one when they start getting down too low, or pouring in my quart bottles. So also you are not getting a true representation of ONE OIL... like I said there are several reasons, But I think that it does okay.

quote:I don't. I pay less for it per mile when you factor all the factors in with the cost of the oil. (i.e. clean clean engine, better MPG, good tab tests, etc.)
