    That is really interesting to see a two-tone "P5". I kinda like the way the rear lip looks not being color-matched (y)

    There's also Berrymans which is supposedly the same thing and under $3. It's interesting that you use half a can every oil change. The website says 1 oz for each quart and run it for 100-300 miles.

    The cheapos have worked well for most of us. I'd rather be out $13 and change vs paying $100.

    It's a 35-year-old car that's been sitting for 3 years so we're talking a matter of a couple hundred dollars, the same temptation that got me in the P5 lol.
