I went to the store yesterday and picked up a case of Valvoline and a couple of filters. I can't belive it, but it set me back over $45.00... granted I did not shop around for price comparisons. But the darn case of oil was over $30.00! I can't belive I am spending over $20.00 each time I change my own oil!

Just venting

You didn't really think the war was about WMDs did you?

And the oil isn't even for the Mustang... it's for my daily driver.

Wow! I'm glad I don't shop where you guys shop!

My last oil change on the DD F150 4x4:
1.5 Gallon jug of Mobil 1 "Truck & RV" 5W30 from Wally World: $21
Motorcraft FL820 Oil filter (Checker Auto): $6
Fram "Air Hog" filter: $13

Yeah it's $40 (actually $39-something - I "rounded up"); but I bought 6 qts of not quite the least expensive oil out there and a pricey air filter!
The cool part is, next week I'm gonna buy another quart of oil and $6 oil filter; and run it another 3k.

Gee, for a little under $20 with a coupon you could have gone to Jiffy Lube or Grease Monkey and had it done for you.

Yes, if you want monkey pee and a nose tissue for a filter.
