HOWEVER, is it no better than the $6.99 oil at your local FLAPS. And it costs $40/gal. I have a better use for the $33.

you don't get a gallon of FLAPS oil for $7, you get a quart.
so at $28 vs $40, it's not -that- big a difference IMHO, especially if you're using 203, which has no FLAPS counterpart.

i certainly had no issues running Valvoline in my car, although as a high-sulphur oil it did stink, which Swepco doesn't...

if the transmission in the 911 gets rebuilt this winter, and if a LSD goes in, i'll use whatever the maker of the diff recommends...

i'm not trying to convert you, i know your mind's made up ...
