Then I just won that bet.How about anyone whose engine ever burns oil at a rate of more than 0.5qt/10k mi loses. Bet they’ll spend more.
My truck uses a qt every 1,500 miles or so. Last change was $18 total.
I am using my "expensive" oil @ $2.25/qt. So over the ~6,000 mile interval I would add 3 qts, about $7 worth of oil, so still under $30.
My current plan is actually just top off oil till I hit 10,000 miles on the filter (Fram Ultra) then drain the oil and change the filter.
Daughter's car uses a qt in about 3,500 miles, last change was $3 total (cost of filter, used some of the "free" after rebate oil in her car). So still $3.
It was available to many for a while, just not now.Nice!
Not really available to anyone but you though.
My oil stash isnt nearly as impressive but Ive got a grip of old school FRUS.
One of the reasons some have a stash.
