And the time to do that is worth less than $400? Plus the cost of parts?

I was gonna let sleeping dogs lie, but that's dumb.


EDIT: Also running synthetics through a 270k truck is an awful idea given that it probably has been run with conventional for at least half it's life. Be leakin like it's rainin down there.
