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...

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...
