[DMCForum] Re: Oil Quality



4 gallons of oil eh? Your PRV bit different than mine...

Bought case of Havoline SAE 30 last time on sale at Advance for 69
cents per quart. If you have something against Texaco quality still
have half a case of Citgo brand left over from Winn Dixie.

Do run Fram and Purolator filters. If they're good enough for Volvo,
are good enough for me.

Let me rattle ear ring some more.
