More like $200. Eight quarts of Mobil One ain't cheap.

What the heck are you driving that takes 8 quarts of oil?

My dad's big block Chevy (427 block bored at 366) work truck with a double filter, oil cooler and an extra large oil pan takes 10 quarts. I didn't realize any cars actually did.

I can only imagine if I bought my car on this card. i just got a Mercedes.

 

This card is a revolver right? I doubt that it would come close to my 1.99 APR that i got :smileyhappy:
