3.78L is about 4 quarts. Two of those jugs and you are good for an oil change.
Without knowing the exact discount i threw together a quick guess at 15% and it came out to about $24/jug for the OE 5w30 Synthetic

Whores and their lubes.

Btw, luckily I haven't noticed any leaks on the stang. Only problems is an iffy transmission, never messes up, just rumbles hard in the top of third and bottom of fourth if I hold it there and cruise. Can also hear the valvetrain (multiple if not all valves/rockers/push rods/whatever) make a nice clicking song lol. I'm overall happy with it though, rarely misses a beat and takes a beating.

Does amsoil make conventional oil? I'm too scared of weeping gaskets to switch to synthetic lol.

Synthetic is a waste of good money.

I think it works out to as simple as buying two overpriced oil changes through am soil n it pays to just be a dealer yourself. There is nothing to it. Last year they had a booth to sign up to be a dealer at the 4x4 jamboree.

Welcome to the club, I'm a dealer as well, took over my Dad's business he was part of the group that brought Amsoil to Canada back in the late 70's. :thumbsup:
Thanks, I will probably be sending you a pm in the near future to get a better understanding of how their system works.

I mention a video because, yeah speedo goes to 120 and burying the needle is fun. Slips at a track because it is closer than Mexico. It's only a race if you have a competitor. Hope you have some biga$$ brakes going that fast.

Dashcam can be mounted anywhere. Some guys mount them backwards to keep an eye on techs/valet/aids in prosecution in case of theft.

I did some rough guestimating and got a top speed of low-mid130s mph. Curious where he was on the tach and how quick it made it there. I know my stocker 3.42 will hit ~90 in 2nd. And the gps shot. That's what a vid would prove :wink:

I currently have a 3.42 rear and 30" od wheels. 265/40-22. It was in 3rd at 4700 rpm when I let out at 132. It was still pulling when I let out, but not hard. I am looking for a 410 rear now. Thinking about selling my wheels for something much lighter. These are almost 50 lbs a wheel....
Nice. And what the hell are you doing in Mexico?

BT: I know a local performance shop that will give me a little dyno time for ~$75. Every thought of checking one out? Raw data :salivate:

Were you able to hit those speeds prior to installing the Vette servo and tune?
