Got the materials together for my oil change. O'reilly auto parts just bought out Checker's and they've been having crazy sales (all the old checker's tools are 50% off BTW). My local store just got in the O'reilly brand full synthetic motor oil, made by Shell (I think), and I decided to go with their 5w-30 as per most suggestions.
They had a manager special, 5 qts of full synthetic O'reilly oil with a Mobil 1 filter for $17.99!!! With the extra qt of oil, some shop towels, and tax, the total was only $27 for a full syn oil change and killa filta that should last 10k miles . . . beat that Midas!
No more dinosaur sludge in our Vortec 5300!
