Now for the dangerous part.... haha

And not to start an oil thread, but you can get five quarts of Mobil One is $25 at Walmart, another quart will run you another $6, a quality WIX filter from the parts store will run $8, plus another few bucks in tax, your still talking $40? Even if you think your current oil is "better" are you driving enough miles to care? Then it's not as much of an ouch on the wallet every year.
Before anyone says  I'm not being brand loyal to Mobil, it's just an example I'm throwing out.
