Good video. I wish he went into more explanation of the performance details of H5606 vs other grades. It is good he suggests a cheaper equivalent (though H5606 is $5/qt, and the truck only uses 3qt, so it's not a huge deal).

Looks like it went up to $7 (still trivial), but I bought 8qt which got me above their $50 free shipping... so I got 8qt shipped for $54 in February.

I used an extra quart or two to refill the system, run everything up and down a few times to get the old and new fluids mixed, then drained and refilled it again. I think I still have 5qt left.
You can find gallon jugs for $20-25 online, though the shipping was like $20, which was why I figured the $54 for 8qt was a better deal. Also, if they have these kinds of prices online, I imagine you could go to a small airport and buy it for a similar price.
