On the other hand 5 qt bottles of Castrol Syntec 5w30 were just under $20 last night. I saw that Havoline price for 8.19 / 5 qts, but Rot T so called syn was 14.77/ gal, up a little more than $2.00 from over a year ago. Lets see trop artic was 1.48 / qt i think, and couldnt find any chevron PCMO, but at least they still had delo 15w40, hovering just under 9.00 a gal, like 2.50 more than I bought most of mine at. Looks like will have to start going to Sam;s again. And yep the ST was like 6.34 /5qt jug.
No M1 Tand SUV or any 5-40 in that line , but plenty of every thing else , all at 25 something in 5 qts. Since M1 ATf went to a dual rating Mercon V, I noticed Castrol ATf still had a straight Mercon fluid, might be handy to know for those of us with tranny's that say all over the place "no dual rated fluids allowed".
Though last time i got to know the owner of the valvoline lube joint and he had a couple of barrels of valvoline synthetic straight Mercon rated that i let him switch into the Tranny, and it has seemed to do great. I went and looked at the labels on the barrels even to make sure. There are few lube shops you would trust and this is one of two that I know of.
