That's actually a really good price. I bought mine from Amazon last time and it was 10.95 a quart. I will be getting this package next time. +1 rep for you for sharing. thanks.

And most of those who offer their expertise on the subject are not even qualified to do same. But it's the internet.

This is true of many topics on this forum. I should know, I'm an internetologist

You can trust that I'm an expert. It's on the internet, so it must be true.

Z1's package is great and amazing services. I changed mine at 1100 miles to Redline, before the change there is this metallic sound when the engine get under load, now with Redline that sound is gone. I am no expert but it does make me feel the car is running smoother especially when you are revving high.

To all those who don't know this, Ester is a type of synthetic oil. YOUR CAR IS ALREADY running synthetic from the get go.

My only tip is to change the oil filter when you change your oil as filters aren't very expensive and it helps to keep everything nice and clean
