5 cents extra per mile?  You may need to do a bit of math.  Assuming only 1500
mile intervals, that assumes you paid 75 bucks in _additional_ money for oil.

Tell you what, I'll sell you Redline oil for only 12 USD a quart.  Or Mobil 1
for only 7.50.  That's cheap compared to whatever you're buying.
