I get Brad Penn off the internet, with free shipping, it comes magically to my front door, amazing.

I think that is what Greg Brown uses and it is hard to argue with his results.

i am going to give it a try on my next oil change.

I use Rotella T non syth, something like 15w50, whatever is on the shelf at Walmart.

The BP from amazon is very tempting though.

I also use Brad Penn. Get it from Zims here in Dallas area. 12 quarts in the 911 and 8 in the 928, not the cheapest oil change.

How much are you paying a quart down there?

$4.59 from Amazon:
