<VV> Oil (Michael Mauro)

[Geoffrey Stozek]

 I've been using Schaefers in everythimng for about ten years with no problems.   My use inclues older and newer (roller liftrers) generic cars, one corvair and diesel lawn equipment.  Anyone else have any experiences?

 Good stuff Valvoline!  

Rockauto.com has the full synthetic for $7.83/qt, 6 qt minimum.  Cheapest
I've found.  Great source for parts and oil, their prices are always
competitive and often way less than comparable vendors.
