At that price for a true full synthetic I emptied the shelf at a nearby Auto Zone so that is what I will be using for the next few oil changes. It is the same stuff that I paid $3.99 a quart for a couple of months ago for my last oil change. It seems to be pretty good stuff, especially when priced about the same as dino Castrol Start-Up.



Ya when I worked at Valvoline instant oil change I made a profit from damn near every customer that came in. Id look at their odo and if it was above 75k id shoot some lame azz sales pitch. "It is specially designed to make the gaskets swell up to prevent premature leaking and provide your car w/ a better performing longer lasting engine yada yada yada"...all while holding the dipstick w/ dirty oil on it. I wasn't far from the truth though b/c that is exactly what its supposed to do. Its prety good stuff. Id just embelish a bit since I'd get a little added $$ to the paycheck per every Max life I sold.
