    Do oil analysis half way when you change the filters. Use blackstone.

    That’s a steal! No Menards down here. Will they tow me if I park at one up North to go buy oil? :)

    The question is where are you going to dispose 8 gallons of old oil? If you have your own shop yea but diying it not that easy.
    Labor is only 80$ out of 527$

    Buy the oil at Walmart and bring it to Speedco. 21 and change vs 34.59. I see why you said 8 gallons of oil. I have always put in over 8 1/2 gallons of oil.
