Others may correct me if I am uninformed, but I have yet to find an on-line
vendor with Aeroshell oil prices low enough relative to local outlets to
overcome the added costs of shipping. Your best bet is probably to contact
your local Shell oil distributor ("jobber") and ask for the case price of
the specific oil you are looking for. Actually, I have found that the local
pilot supply stores around here (Seattle area) actually sell Aeroshell oil
at case prices a tiny bit UNDER the distributor price. That policy is
probably intended by the distributor to protect its retail outlets.

As far as landing lights, oil filters, and other "expendables", you can
usually get discount prices from a number of on-line retail outlets. See,
for example, http://store.sky-quest.com/
