OIL

[170C]

I have used Aeroshell W 100 in my engine with what I would say was success. As I approach my oil/filter change in the next 60 hours I will need to purchase oil locally. Looking at data on Shell's website it appears that they may offer 100; W100 & W100 Plus in addition to their multi variety. Is 100 the straight mineral oil many of us use to break in a new cylinder/engine? Seems the cost of W100 has escalated since I last purchased it. I got a real deal on the last two cases which cost me $3.67 per quart. One quote in Nashville quoted me a price that equated to $8.39 per quart before tax Is this in line with what others are paying?

$6.62 at Aircraft Spruce... but I have the advantage of driving by their store occasionally so I pick it up when I'm there.

I pay just over $60 per case of Phillips 15W-50 at a local oil distributor.

I'm not in he market for aviation oil anymore since I no longer have an airplane, but I might suggest that you check your local "Costco" or "Sams Club".
The 'Sams Club"where I shop has a pretty good price on Shell Multi Vis Aviation Oil. I can't remember just what the ptice was, but my airport friends allowed as it was a god deal when I told them about it.

Dick the local SAMs Club locations in the Fort Worth area used to carry Aeroshell w100 at a good price but stopped doing so many yrs ago. Don't know if any do in my area now as it has been 5 + yrs since I have been in SAMs. I don't like paying a fee to be able to shop and then wait in a long line to again pay my money

Airparts, Inc. is where I buy mine from. Can't recall exactly but less than $6/qt. last time I bought W100. I walk in and buy so I have no idea what shipping would be.

Our local EAA chapter worked out a discount with the local supplier (Ramos Oil). I think we got a 15% discount. They were more than willing to work with us for a bulk rate.

I get Phillips xc 20w-50 from Amazon by the case after shipping its 5.71 a quart.

Most of my friends have switched to Phillips for price. They all seem well satisfied with the performance of the product.

They must be making the stuff with oil supplied LAST year!
