The conventional bottle of Super Tech doesn't say "dexos" on it. No W or WD on the bottom of Super Tech oil jug.

Going forward looks like I'll be sticking to Kirkland.
Obviously comes from the U.S. in 4.73 L jugs.
I bet that one is a legit Warren product.
I've ordered it from Costco four or five times now. It ships directly from Warren.

bumped my mortgage payment up an additional 50 dollars/month. Just that little bit extra, takes all but 5 years off the term and saves me over 8K in interest

my ultimate goal is to pay the mortgage off 10-15 years early

Just a couple months ago, he was on the news regarding cyber crimes.

No details, but he was found dead last night.

6:30 am, and I already kicked on the fan in my office...

A guy at work just gave me a couple rolls of visqueen for a makeshift paint booth. BTW, I gave my Buddy that "portable garage" back. I've seen too many of those take flight in heavy winds.
