I help my FBO out plenty.... Why should I pay their 6 bucks a quart wuhen I
can get it for 3 something. I **** enough money away on our plane so I
don't fee bad at all about getting my own oil. Especially if all I have to
do is write a check and they bring it to me. Besides my FBO does all the
maintenance and the annual on our Mooney.

I even get my oil filters from Aircraft Spruce.. At oil change time I put
8 quarts and a new filter in the plane and my A & P at the FBO changes the
oil (for $90 in labor) so believe me they make enough...

I purchased a case of oil today. I was shocked that at a distributor, the
price of a case Aeroshell 15-50 has jumped to about $70, which is $20 higher
than I remember. So, it's $6 a quart at the distributor. What a freakin'
nightmare.
