The $52 in the other post is what I really spend but then I got cute and rounded it off and screwed it up. If you have no faith in synthetics then this discussion is mute.I have used AMSOIL in all my vehicles for over 20 years. Using my 1994 Plymouth 3.3L V-6 as an example: It was put on 5W-30 at the third (9K) conventional oil change. I used a Hastings filter which is changed every 12K and the oil is changed every 24K. Vehicle now has over 208K and going strong. I did change it to 0W-30 once it became available. Now the math. Every 24K I spend $60.00 on Amsoil and two filters. $8.00 a quart (5 + 1 at filter change)and $6.00 per filter. Eight conventional oil changes around here would cost $19.95 each including filter. 8 X 19.95 = $159.60 Now $60 is somwhat less than $159.60, plus I have only 6 quarts of used oil to dispose of. Even if you do your own changes and buy oil for $1.00 per quart and a filter for $2.50 the cost is $7.50 x 8 or $60.00. Just my experience.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
