I had to get some Merc dinosaur oil to break these fresh rings in, and 'bout fell out when I saw the price tag on the shelf.....

Did I get hosed?, or is it this high all over?

I was used to getting Penzoil blend, and I was getting it for $14 a gallon or so.....hurt my feelings......:nonod::icon_bs:

Friggin Valvoline at Napa is like 4 bucks a quart. That's all I use for break in.

we were in west marine and I commented on the price of full synthetic penzoil amd the older upity checkout lady says "it's oil, all the oil prices are up" and I replied "it's not oil, it's man made" :mad:
