Nope, she was dropping off the cleaning lady while I was in the garden, saw my vehicle coming out, so it's here. I get to pick up her van and wash my truck.

We're both on SS of some sort.

It's nice, isn't it. Sharing life with someone. :)

Neither one of thought we'd be together, let alone with anybody.

Pennzoil has $25 rebate on 2 X 5qt synthetic oil. Wally world has it $24/5 qt .( So pay $23 +taxes for 10 quarts X 2) - $25 rebate = $23/10 qt.

That is $2.30/qt for the best oil.

I did same with Mobil 1 last fall, put the big 2 qt oil filter on my old V8 chevy ~ $20 USD with filter I did work.

I'm getting the peznzoil now, still < 3000 miles since last change.

Those 4.3L only take 4.5 quarts........

6 quarts in the 4200 Straight Six. Yep I still have some Mobile 1 oil and filters leftover.

Is that like a I6-292? Those had forged pistons/crank. I had one in a C10 I stripped emissions off, put a 1-bbl off a 66 on w man choke, got > 20 mpg (12 bolt 3:73 and m20 muncie).

I won't by new $#!t!

[BucketBack]

This is a DOHC Forget what the 292 was.

GM should have turbo'ed it and put it a certain mid engine car
