(Patriotic Canadian stuff snipped)

I've been thinking.......if the same amount of money was spent per mile for
oil/filters......$6 oil (Mobil 1, Syntec, et al,) $3 oil (generally the
semis) changed twice as often.....or $2 oil (generally the cheaper name
brands) three times as often....or (yikes!) 97 cent NuGold at Canadian
Tire! Change it every two freakin' weeks......
Enviromental issues aside, does this make any sense to any one? Perhaps
_not_ when it's 30 below, eh? And again, no, I don't care how much you pay
for your oil, unless you live where I do.

Getting ready for a oil change (Mobil1, Walmart, $6.47/litre)....looking
for Mobil 1 filters....any hosers find'em yet?
