Re: <All> Change from Synthoil

["Linus D. Toy" <linust@interramp.com>]

I pay $3.50/qt for Mobil 1.  Dino-juice is about $1/qt, so $2.50/qt x 5 =
$12.50/oil change x 5 oil changes/year = $62.50/year.  whatever a turbo
rebuild/replacement costs, i'm guessing i'm miles ahead.  For a low-stress
NA engine, perhaps it's not necessary (but i'd prolly do it still), but with
a hi-po/hi-comp/turbo engine, i believe!
