I've got about 4 cases of PP left that I got on various sales and rebates for $1/quart. It's good stuff.

I am a big fan of Mobile1, I pick it up at Walmart (In the 5QT container), here in Fresno its cheaper than Costco, but you need to buy an extra quart to do an oil change in the VQ. I have been using Bosch filters and I took a magnet out of a computer hard drive and I put it on the filter to catch anything that is ferrous.

I get 5w30 for about $3.50/quart lol

On the magnet... you think that actually gets anything? I have never heard of doing that but it makes sence i guess..
