Maybe Marketing has identified the price point for used engine oil.... could anyone really be that cheap?? Maybe a Scot up in Canada?

That or they all own older VW Rabbits with the old diesel engines and are just blending the used oil with bio diesel and driving on it. While laughing all the way to the bank 
I've found FCP to be rather quick to ship in my limited dealings.

There's a direct BNL to ALB UPS flight so you will get next day UPS shipping at any rate you choose. Just another perk of the Capitol District

I almost feel guilty buying from anywhere other than FCP. Their customer service has been the absolute best I've ever dealt with, hands down. No company has ever treated me so well, and I have a lot of respect for how this company is run. I buy most of my parts from FCP and will continue to do so.
Don't tempt me, because I will!

I know! I've bought two Mann filters from them, I'm going to be saving them from now on! Unfortunately the filter I have in there now is Bosch from Autozone.MadeInJapan wrote: ↑19 Apr 2017, 20:31 Wow!!

I'm down with sending them used oil filters, especially if they have a way to recycle them. Auto parts stores around here in NYC don't take used oil filters, they direct you to just place them in the trash.
Just shipped back some Febi control arms back to FCP yesterday. About $20 bucks in shipping.
