I wonder how the Kirkland stuff would do in my Dodge RAM.It ticked at startup
after about 5,000 miles on Valvoline synthetic. With Mobil 1 (this is all 5w20)
it doesn't tick even at the 9,000 miles its on for its last change...
I know many folks poo poo M1 but this experience tells me something is better
about it, at least vs Valvoline.

The ARFCOM oil guy (one of the owners of Lyden Oil) says it's typical 'full
synthetic' (comparable to Mobil One et al). He'll sell me Kendall GT-1 MAX for
$35/12 qt case, which is 10% over distributor cost.
Which makes Costco pricing pretty much wholesale for DEXOS 1 certified oil.

Group III (and especially Group III+) is getting pretty good, at least for
short
term (under 10kmi) use, and you can get it for under $10 a gallon in tanker
quantities.
Group IV is more durable but expensive. My friend pricing at Lyden is $101/12qt
case of Redline, my preferred customer pricing at Amsoil is $112 with free
shipping for Signature Series 5W30. Considering the fact that Amsoil has to UPS
it to me, I figure those prices are equivalent.
If anybody wants Amsoil before my membership expires at month end, let me know
and I'll see if it can be shipped to you at my membership price.
