Hey guys,

I, too, have been contemplating other options for my urS6 after I saw 
Castrol Syntec at my local FLAPS top $7.87 a quart!  Mobil 1 was somewere 
around $7.50 or so.  Add tax and it gets ridiculous.  Last I remember it was 
around $5-$6.00.  Have not found an alternative yet.

When queried about the price, my local FLAPS said that Wally World has the 
trademark on synthetic oil in a jug, and that he couldn't get it.  Any truth 
to that?  I really try not to buy anything, even oil, there.

BTW, I've got studded iPikes on my urS6 avant and my Toyota Tacoma and 
nothing stops 'em.  Sidewalls a bit soft on the highway, but otherwise 
fantastic.  Wear like iron, too.  I'm on my fourth season on both sets. 
Unfortunately I think they are now made in China.  Used to be Korea?

Best regards,
