In the 80s-90s the cost was around 5-6 bucks a qt. I've been buying M1 by the jug around 20-25 years.

Thank you. Also I've never had an engine increase in oil consumption from start to when I sold the vehicle. All engines stayed very clean as well. Some engines over 300K.

I started using M1 5-20 in 1978 and paid $5 a qt then. No where near 70% increase today.

I started my normal 10K OCI (miles) in 1978 with M1 5-20 and have continued that for the last 46 years.

Like wise I started off in my 1978 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup. oil consumption did increase some, but nothing like you said. +However the engine purred like a kitten. I stated using M1 because 10-40 made cold starts very difficult in the Maine winters. M1 curred that problem.

You got me beat. I started using M1 5-20 in 1978 while living in Bath, Me. Bought it at the Mobil gas station on Leman Hwy. $5 a qt.

I bought my 1st qt of M1 5-20 in the metal can 45 years ago.

I use M1 10-30 in all my OPE with excellent results for the last 35+ years.

I use the MC FL 2017B cartridge in my 2007 Fusion, and the MC FL 910S spin on in the 2017 Fusion.

I use M1 LV-HP atf in my 2017 Ford Fusion 6F35 trans. AT 162 K the trans shifts great up and down. I do a drain and fill every 30-40K.

Yes. A 66 Chevy 6 cyl broke a ring on #1 cyl and replaced the short block at 70K miles. Also a 77 Chevy 305 trans (the metric 2 speed) as it started slipping at about 8K on the car. As it was still under warranty a local Chevy dealer rebuilt the trans.

My 07 Fusion and the 2017 both are under cover from the elements.

No.

I've had two Fords that have gone over 300K.

Check with Rock Auto. I recently bought one from them for a tail light for my 2007 Ford Fusion. Total price was 68 bucks with tax and it looks and fit like the original.
