Greetings,
Shopping for engine oil is almost as painful as going to the gas station so I wanted to ask the collective where they get their oil and what brand based on economics.
I have a Lycoming angle valve engine that is not affected by the Lycoming AD however I still want to run the Lycoming oil additive so the options are buy pre-blended oil or buy oil and add the Lycoming additive.
I see Phillips has "XC" oil that has an "anti-rust" additive and they also have the "Victory" oil that has the Lycoming additive pre-blended.
Since the Victory oil is way more expensive per quart I am wondering if buying the normal oil and then buying the Lycoming additive would be cheaper.
Of course since my engine does not require the additive then there are thoughts of using two quarts with the additive to every one quart of regular (or a 1 to 1 ratio).
Then there are options like 12 single quart cases and four one gallon cases...
Then there are shipping options where above a certain amount (I believe based on weight and not packaging size) the shipping option only allows for "freight forwarded" and below that limit allows for shipping with "Fed-Ups".
So for those who are smart enough to have cracked the code on what is the best and most economical option for this kind of purchase can you please give some advice?
THANKS!!!
THANKS!!!
