    Synthetic oil

    Truck has 5 gallons of lube oil so that make it 4 bottles of ZDDP+ at 37 bucks! and the oil is 13 bucks a gallon so that will be my $100 oil change and add the money for spin-on filters and maybe I can keep it under 120 bucks and I get to do it myself. Did I figure that right?
