I put Mobil 1 in my truck (6 quarts) and I've found, as much as I hate to say it Wal-Mart is the cheapest around.

Make sure they actually change the filter, some won't. I watched them dump the old oil out, lower the car and put fresh oil in. complaining to a manager got me the excuse that the guy was new, a new oil change, and a 50% off, but who knows how often that happens

You should see what Gas can do. IIRC he deals with Amsoil. I wonder how the prices are for that.

Can he get me Amsoil 2-stroke 50:1 oil? :D

I just buy it there and get the hell out as fast as I possibly can. I change the oil myself. Only 2 things I buy at Wal Mart for the most part, oil and ammo (mostly shotgun shells)

Air filter, oil filter, oil, and ammo (when they have it). I use Mobil 1 extended life full synth that is supposed to be good for 15k miles. I change it every 10k or so.

Agree, except the filter I get from the dealer. Can't quite break that one, probably won't either.

Now ya tell me. I came home with Mobil 1. I thought about getting the extended life but wasn't sure about 15K miles with no oil change. This whole synthetic thing is new so I'm going one step at a time.

I just need to get hubby to help me put it on the ramps and I'll be set to change. Yeah, I could do that part myself, but it always makes me sooo nervous I just can't. He needs to do something anyway.

So do EX500s.

I switched to Syn after 10k on my rebuild. Have been doing fine for months and now it seems to be losing it. God I hope it's not burning it. I'll be switching back to dino next time.
