Beware on your next trip to VIP. I was not told about this until after the job was done.

Wow, what are you running? My Super duty takes 16 quarts or 4 gallons of oil.
What takes 5 gallons?
FYI I would never take anything to VIP. They have gotten more expensive then NAPA on some parts and I believe I commented on this or another post that I found the exact same mobile 1 oil VIP sells at Walmart for half the price per 5 quart bottle.
Check out the new shop across the street, I've been hearing good things around town about them. They are not just a muffler shop, the guy who now owns it used to run a well known transmission rebuilding shop back in Mass.
