Just got a Costco book with the specials for the month. Delo, Rotella, (both
big jugs) Chevron Supreme ( looks like quarts, probably the 6 pack) $10 off.
Costco prices are a bit better than El Mercado de Wal do this would be a good
deal. Limit 7 on the sale.

About like a car then, that'd be some 6 kmi.

Even with the miles I drive, it would take me 3.5 years to consume 55

Yeah, three-five years. So what? If you've got the room
and it's cheaper why not. Less handling, too.

The usual advice is to do oil analysis over a period of time and base
your change interval on that. I guess there are a lot of variables.

I have been getting delo 400 in 5 gallon buckets from a chevron
distributor.
In my case, it worked out cheaper per gallon than the six gallon box at
costco.
Interesting. When I last looked at the 55 gallon drum price
Costco was still a clear win. Didn't look at a mid-size option,
though.

Interesting data point: due to the size of the fleet (which you can appreciate),
I have been getting delo 400 in 5 gallon buckets from a chevron distributor.
In my case, it worked out cheaper per gallon than the six gallon box at
costco.
