well since apparently all of you care so much i will tell you how bad i got raped at my local honda dealership, it wound up being $110.00 for 6 qts of royal purple, which is dumb cause last time i bought oil there it was about 10 bucks a quart, which is still kinda high, but instead i got to spend about 18 a qt not including tax tax

thats what you get for buying royal purple at a stealership. I would never buy oil at a place like that. ;) i hope you enjoy your oil though. try some in a glass on the rocks. Sure takes the edge off :D I would never ever spend 18 dollars a quart no matter how good it is. steve

thats the screwed up part, they waited till i swiped my debit card to tell me how much it was, my dad almost s#*t a brick when he saw the total, he started yelling at the cashier that this oil better come with a hooker or another atv, which made me want to get the hell out of there asap so i said screw it and bought it to avoid a scene

and to make things better i also had asked for 2 oil filters, a uni air filter, and 4 ngk race plugs, wich by the way i cant even install because i dont feel like grinding down a socket to fit it in there

you're a brave man. I would have def gave it back to them or at least took it to the service counter and got your money back. steve

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/tri5ron/Emoticons%20and%20funny%20pics/smileyvault-wtf.gif you didn't want to make the counter guy feel bad ???

I'd have laughed at the guy, and said take it off my card.

Next time you need to change your oil,...
I'll be happy to sell you my lightly used GN4 for half price, and I'll toss in the last couple of filters for free, (plus shipping of course) !!!

Thats insane! I woulda demanded he take the stuff back and walked out!

I mean at 5 bucks a qt the mobil 1 15w-50 I use is $$$, but 18/ea is insane. Royal purple is good oil, but no more better than something like mobil 1 or another synthetic.

yeah i know it was stupid but it was just one of those days man, not much has been going right with this quad, especially after the accident so at that point i could care less, just didnt have the time or energy to stand there and argue in the front of a huge freekin line is all, wont make the same mistake twice but i deff felt like i had just been bent over the counter and raped by that dealership as i walked out the door

Royal Purple is 85.00 a box (12qt)
You were a victim of over double retail mark-up
(85.00/12=7.08 a qt)
What ***-holes

Royal Purple is great however, its all I used for years in the M3. Next choice is Redline, or Mobil 1 (cheaper)

It's a good habit to wait to see the total before you swipe your card. ;P

yeah but like i said, last time i got oil there it was only 10 a qt, and they had a sign nest to the rack saying oil sale for royal and it was 10 again but apparently the sale had ended like 2 weeks ago or some bs, all i know is that i was deff not expecting the price to be even close to what it was

If they still have the sign up I woulda demanded to talk to the manager, if they have the sign up they have to sell it for that price. P.S. it sucks you got screwed.
