I use the BP, and have even after rebuilding my engine. It is great oil, and while not cheap, it is less than full syn. When you change oil, like I do, every 6 months or less, why waste the money on full syn?

rubber brake hoses need to be replaced every 7 years or so - avoid the stainless mesh type or replace yearly

Would this be a local source?

Stinsons on Bank St now carry it, either by the case of 12 (about $65) or individually.
