I have to agree! The first in-line I ever had. Its backed up by a Warn 4-speed.

Since we're on the topic of synthetic motor oils, and conventional motor oil, I happened to notice the flyer from Advanced Auto. You can buy a 5qt. container jug of Valvoline Next Gen motor oil which is 50% recycled oil and a Drive Works oil filter for 21.99 . OR, Non-recycled conventional Valvoline with same oil filter for the same price.

Now, why would I want 50% recycled oil for a price of premium conventional new motor oil? Here are a few price listings on the synthetic oils:

5qts. Quaker State Full Synthetic with Pure One oil filter for 24.99 .

Mobil 1 synthetic 5qts with Mobil 1 oil filter 32.99

Mobil 1 synthetic 5qts Extended Performance w/ Mobil filter 35.99 .

Valvoline Next Gen Synthetic Blend 5qts w/ Purolator filter 23.99

Valvoline SNY Power 5qts w/ K&N filter 29.99 .

Offers valid Aug.29 - Oct. 2 2013 .

My truck requires 6 quarts to full mark on dip stick, and to carry one in the vehicle at all times is 7 quarts. The really sock the price to you on the extra 2 needed quarts, I'm better off to buy two 5qt jugs!
