Best prices for Engine Oil

I help my FBO out plenty.... Why should I pay their 6 bucks a quart
wuhen I can get it for 3 something. I **** enough money away on our
plane so I don't fee bad at all about getting my own oil. Especially if
all I have to do is write a check and they bring it to me. Besides my
FBO does all the maintenance and the annual on our Mooney.

I even get my oil filters from Aircraft Spruce.. At oil change time I
put 8 quarts and a new filter in the plane and my A & P at the FBO
changes the oil (for $90 in labor) so believe me they make enough...

How much oil do you use? Why don't you just buy it from the FBO
and help them out. You want to keep them around don't you?

Are there any vendors anybody would like to share that will UPS a case or
two of oil at a price that won't hurt too much?
Thanks in Advance

I purchased a case of oil today. I was shocked that at a distributor, the
price of a case Aeroshell 15-50 has jumped to about $70, which is $20 higher
than I remember. So, it's $6 a quart at the distributor. What a freakin'
nightmare.

Wow. It's still a bit more than $44 (plus shipping) at The Oil Store.

Holy crap! Guess I'd better go buy up all the $43 cases at my local
supplier...

(Hey, this may be the best investment I've made this year! Buy low, sell
high? :-)

I'd even switch to Exxon Elite (which may be a better oil, anyway) if I had
a local Exxon distributor. Unfortunately, the only oil distributor I can
find anywhere near my house or place of work carries Shell and apparently
charges a premium. I did notice that Aircraft Spruce sells the Exxon
product for $50 something a case, so my plan going forward may be to pick up
a case anytime I'm down there. I'm 45 minutes by car from their Griffin
location. Flying there is an option too...
