Yeah, I 've seen them before, but I want to have the smaller bottles to easily measure out the 4.6 qts I need. Once I have the smaller bottles, though, for 5W-30 and 10W-30, I'll buy the big boys and pour into the little ones for measuring.

I'm pretty sure its marked on the side of the jug with a window to see the oil level. I used to buy Castrol GTX in 5 quart jugs from WALMART. they were marked.

Good find man....I'll have to pick some up, I'm due. Do they have 0-30?
Pure Adrenalin.....what are local stores? For me here in Boston it's only gas stations (who don't seem to have what I want, syn 1-30) or AutoZone's who are big chains as well. I don't think we have small shops for buying oil.

I go to advanced auto, seems to have the 0w-20 (mobil 1) I use in the CL, should I be using something else?
I used to check wal-mart but never found it, very hard to find the 0w-20 as it is.

walmart has a history of going into a new area and taking all the business from the local area then shutting the store down after a couple years and basically the local areas are f*cked...
But thats for Ramblings...

I'd type the whole mess out, but most of it has been run into the ground here.
At the end they mention:
"Finally, one shop we queried regarding your letter, Jackson Racing, has been servicing Honda/Acura vehicles for years. They use only 10W-30, albeit in mild-to-hot southern California. Their recommendation was to use 10W-30 and change it often -- sage advice from Honda specialists used to dealing with the firm's close-tolerance engines."
Look, if I was cruising down the HWY and putting on 20K miles a year doing mostly long commutes, I'd probably have already switched to Amsoil 5w-20. However, with multiple starts, comes condensation issues that have little to do with oil quality differences that are hard to measure (Mobil 1 vs. Amsoil). IOW, it's better to just toss the filter and oil and insure that everything is clean. So, if you go back to the same 5K change and the ease of driving by Pep Boys, well…
Hey, there are a lot of products that I just don’t bother with by the time I look into the cost of storage and shipping.
