Can't beat synthetics to solve that problem. Too bad they are so expensive
still.
Anyone have a source for cheaper synthetic oil? I've seen Mobil 1 as low
as about $3.25/qt.
Has anyone tried to buy it in bulk? I'd use it in all of my cars and
trucks if I could get it cheap enough. My new Ford diesel takes 15 qts of
oil, and I'd sure like to use synthetics in it also.
