Who's the best supplier by mail order? Best price, fastest/cheapest shipping, best service, etc? Any retail dealers in Nor Cal? Thanks.............

Hi,

I would suggest calling Hill Oil Company in Denver to see who might carry the B-P products in your area that you are looking for.

I do stock the 20w-50 racing oil here and ship it all over OR & WA.

I got mine all the way from the midwest. I forget his name but he sells it cheap since the shipping is so expensive. Truth be told I am not satisfied with Brad Penn.....all it did was start making my engine leak when it used to be as dry as a bone. I'll eventually go back to some dino oil after I use up my brad penn.

I placed an order with theoilwarehouse.com last week. Low case prices (they announced a $4 increase effective this past weekend), but high shipping... 50% of case cost for shipping, basically. Their current pricing is $44.10 / case, but it cost me $20 to have it shipped.

Why did it make your car leak?

Oshin11,

That is the first issue I've heard of using Brad Penn. Isn't it a semi synthetic oil?
From my understanding this oil doesn't have too much detergents so I am surprised and actually hear the opposite as it stop's leaks.

How many miles on the car and do you know where it's leaking from?

I got it from lnengineering as well I think. I did not say Brad Penn will make any car leak, just some. It is semi-synthetic and thus should run thinner than a dino oil if I am not mistaken. So at times when a dino oil may not leak, putting a thinner semi synthetic might get it to start leaking. It doesnt leak a lot, just a little. I still get 1000 miles per quart even though it is leaking.

I had the same experience as oshin11. More like weeping than leaking, still no oil on the floor just a oil damp case.
