Re: [DML] Yet Another Oil Thread

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another myth busted!!  Although somehow I knew that Toyota was not 
really in the oil-refinery business. 

Acutally my preferred oil (for cars other than the DMC) is BMW 5W30 
Synthetic - I get it at the BMW dealer and it's at least 50 cents a 
quart cheaper than Mobil 1 (with a club discount). It's re-packaged 
Castrol. I would never have believed that a car dealer is the 
cheapest place around to buy synthetic oil.
