$25 for a 5qt jug of Mobil 1 is the normal price at Walmart in America. I don't have that nice cheap oil usage anymore :/

They come in 4.4L jugs which is is only 4.6qt for $49.99. So we need another 1L container which goes for $12.29. Damn we get ripped off.

Just looked on the Canadian Tire website and the Liter containers are on sale. I need to be a better Mennonite sometimes.

(Edit) The online flyer has the big jugs on sale. My location was probably just slacking.

The brakes are known to stick. My inner pads and rotors were worn down but the outer ones looked new.

Pick up Hawk HPS pads with blank rotors. Also grease the slide pins when installing and check them regularly after.

Ya. I got Wagner's last spring and they're pretty rusty. Speed Factor was super competitive with pricing. Shipping, exchange rate and duty can kill all savings.

Anyone ever paint the "hub" portion of their rotors?

This is what my pads looked like after my calipers pins seized up.
