We mostly deal with the transportation industry and don't carry a lot of automotive stuff. It is more difficult to mess with quarts as well, so we sell in bulk (like Sam's =).

But, we are cheaper than Amazon. 4 gallon case is $91.80, 5 gallon jug is $109.75. No free shipping though. FOB Conroe TX. I have ran the tests and have seen the results. Rovers cant benefit fully because you can't extend the drains. But in a diesel OTR truck, you will save a bunch of $$ in the long run. Extended drains pay for the oil, and you get an average of 0.2 MPG increase. That is some money when you are looking at fleet mileage.

What part of the world is that?

Anyway I think if we had to pay for it a case of 12 quarts was around $52.00 for the Engine and $96.00 for the rear end and trans.
You can get a deal from some race shops on it but that is a crap shoot at best.
Amazon is $89.00 per case now.
We can not sell any of the products that they send us our we loose or sponsorship.

Well how about sponsoring me and giving me any one of those vehicles on the chopping block. I'll put it to good use.
