Filter from Walmart - half that. Shell Rotella T6 - half that. Still just as good.

A couple of months ago I could have done the filter for 1/4 that but dang if they don't sell the SuperTech filters anymore.

I say let the secret brotherhood assemble (assuming we can get the robes out of storage) and give him "the test of the crucible".

Can he assemble a single post with both chain wax and nitrogen in tires? Manifold cross over tubes and Skinko tires?

Fear ye to any who enter not with a brave and steadfast heart.

Want to save $? Use the non synthetic Rotella 15w-40. You give up having it go to 5W, but that doesn't matter to me. Price is about $12 a gallon.

If you ever use HD oil, prepare to "lay her down".
