Well I started my car earlier and I noticed the oil psi was higher, but then again I changed the oil psi sending unit after breaking the old one while installing a ls6 intake. I'm not sure if it's a stock sending unit or a high reading borg. I'll drive the car tommarow and see how it does.

I just purchased some at AutoZone. Currently there is a sale: 5qts Castrol Syntec + 1 Fram Tough Guard oil filter for $24.99. This is a very good deal. I made two separate purchases so I could better take advantage of the reward program (5 - $20+ purchases = $20 Reward).

Is there a mail-in rebate on that? That is a great price for just the oil. I would not use the filter tho. I only use K&N 2006. I also need 6 qts with that filter.

Yeah I had 5 bottles in our garage since I found some at a store and had the extra cash. Then the other day my dad goes, "I hope you don't mind I used some of that oil on your mom's car." Ughhhhhhh her Camry with 170k on the clock and a bad rear main.

No rebate; no hassle. Offer good from thru April 2, 2008. I have hit 2 stores, and only one had any in-store advertisements. I picked up 20qts of the amber “made in Germany” version. Check out the online sales circular.

BTW, I only use the K&N 2006 filter also. I grabbed some oil filters for my truck and my brother’s vehicles. He said he would give me a few $’s per filter.
