Mine is not so cold (cellar temps, like a pint of hand pumped real ale should be) but is certainly cheap. I own a commercial-quality picobrewery capable of producing 350 bottles per day. Pennies per glass!

Pennies a beer sounds good.

I recommend the Mobil 1 5W-30 EP (Extended Performance) - it's superior to the regular Mobil 1 5W-30. The Mobil 1 5W-30 High Mileage is probably also better than the regular Mobil 1 5W-30.

Just curious- how did you determine that this oil is superior to the other oils mentioned and to other oils in general. Putting aside advertising claims, of course.

I'm always interested to learn of tangible, real world benefits.

Thanks.

Next time I change the oil in my 1999 Dodge Ram pickup, I'm going with either peanut or sunflower oil instead of the 10W-30 Valvoline conventional oil I've always used in this truck. Can't quite decide whether peanut or sunflower would be better. Anyone have any scientific input??

Ah, you want vegetarian, sustainable, fairtrade, GM-free oil made in the USA using no child labor.
Snake oil is just about ideal.
