Wish I could do that. I can't get an Amsoil change for that price.



Even as a dealer, I can't even pull that off.

Go to the recy. yard bought a 6X6 pipe for my front bumper, got a whole 2X3 and some 2X4 metal pipes for rear bumper that me and winston427 are using. Also replaced TC drop with the 2X3 bolted to frame in one section in order to mount lower control arm brackets for the long. Spent $48 for all so that = $25 each not bad for a day.

Valvoline high mileage and fram filter is under $40.

Of course there is more expensive. Red line, royal purple, etc. with a K&N filter. Each to his own.
