Ken. That price is amazing. With the 6 quarts that works out to 5.675 litres at $65.00. I paid $94.95 here in Port for 5 litres of that wonderful oil. Is it for real or has it “fallen off the back of a truck” as we say?

Can we really evaluate what oil is good, better, best ?? Sure, Mobil has a good name to it and let's hope the oil isn't anyone letting down.
In this context I just wanted to mention that the Tristar has done 390 000km and for 340 000 km ( I bought it with 50 on the clock ) it had to make do with one type
of oil which I buy at the local ag wholesaler. It is FUCHS german tech. TITAN universal HD 15/40 (CF - 4/SJ ). I have always bought a few 20ltr drums at a time,
so the last ones I bought say 2 years ago at $ 85.-- per 20 ltr drum. Have to find out how much they are charging these days, possibly similiar to Mobil ?
Will be interesting to find out. Hartmut
