Completely immaterial Dan since every major oil brand discounts from time
to time. The Valvoline bigots can buy their Valvoline at discount if they
bother to read the advertising circulars. It doesen't take a lot of effort
to
buy as much oil as you need when it goes on sale, you just need to have
the space to store it.

Claming as these morons seem to be doing that their 'spechul' oil is so
all-faluting better that it never goes on sale, is a bunch of bullcrap.
