Yeah, but you can go a long time between changes on motul 300v

I see. How's the Toyota 0w20? Seems to be slightly cheaper than Eneos.

It's going to start getting hot outside so keep that in mind.

Ready?.....Go

I have always liked Amsoil personally, its also not all that expensive if you find a local dealer (a good friend of mine happens to be one so he gets me a case when I need it) and as always you can run it for a long time if you like. I however am one of those that prefer to change my oil every 4000 miles or so. I don't know why but anything past 5k and I get grumpy so between 4k-5k I change it.

Amsoil does have a product line for those who like to do things the way I do and its 7.99 a quart I believe. (You can buy it online too instead of a dealer if there is not one in the group up there)

The Top Tier Synthetic says 15k-25k between changes and is 10.xx a quart so thats another option.
Then there's XL (They say 10k I do 5k because of that minor OCD I have) is 7.69 a quart. This is what the Vette always gets.
They also have OE which is also synthetic and is made to be changed every 3k for 6.10 I think it was.
They also now sell by the Gallon so you can buy Gallon Containers to make things a little easier to.
There is also Race oils that come in around 11.xx a Quart so plenty of options.
Never heard of any complaints from anyone running Amsoil but I will also say the same of Euno's. It's just harder to get a hold of and more expensive so I stick to Amsoil.

Someone did a comparison on Regular Euno's and found it to be more than enough without spending the extra for Sustina. Again all in end user preference.

What does it matter if I get three free regardless?

I have gotten my first two oil changes done right before 5k and they tell me 7500 every time and I say no. They don't seem to mind they just tell me I can and I tell them I don't like to do that. They should not be giving you grief for getting it done early, if they are then take it to Jeff's work I have a good feeling they will take care of you if your dealer will not.

If you want to do it here I am fine with that, Matt is supposed to be bringing over my new ramps finally so the lift should be ready. I planned on using it outside the garage so I could clean under the Vette and get it spotless.

Either way there are some tasks that always need to be done so we can do a Saturday event this weekend if you guys would like to.

I use Mobil 1 for two oil changes already. I'm yet to experience any problems.

To each their own. I won't ever use it in a Subaru engine.
