Bill, Bill ..... spin doctoring and sinking down to using Obama math -- I expected better from you.
============
Klotz thought the internet costs you $11 a quart plus $8.75 in shipping cost to actually get it to you.
Lets see, that's $30.75 for an oil change (we are going to assume we both use an oil filter, so the filter is a wash for this analysis).
I use a half gallon of the Rotella Syn that I pick up from the local Walmart at $19.00 a gallon which I will round up to costing me $10 for oil change for ease of calc.
Let's see, thats $20 difference for the first change. Or, if you want to say it another way I can do my oil portion of the change two extra times for a total of three times for the same money you drop on your Klotz oil change.
3 years worth of oil only changes vs one year of oil change for the same money,
plus I get the additives that the Savage's cam lobes and tappets and chain need and maybe you don't (ain't heard nothing about Klotz carrying any extra ZDDP in its mix and ain't gonna bother to look neither).
Or, if I save $20 each oil change I'd save a theoretical $60 over the three changes. Any way you want to say it, the advantage goes cleanly to the Rotella Syn oil.
I liked Klotz two stroke oil back in the day because it didn't smoke near as bad as dino two stroke did, but I find the current 4 stroke stuff just way too pricey for my blood.
==========
BTW, I generously assumed you kept a magnet on your oil filer and kept your oil in the case for a full year like I do -- but you don't, do you? You change your oil at least twice a year, don't you? So, the cost advantage for Rotella Syn is really over twice as much as said above, isn't it? (a little bit of twistie the 'ol knife, combined with a retro drop in technique -- these oil wars are endlessly entertaining, aren't they?)
