I love my fumoto. If you get the lock for it and its not in a place that it can get knocked off it's a great addition to your truck. However I would never put one on my wife's Jeep GC because it would be hanging lower than the transmission crossmember

Here's something to ponder....

So I got my PUP from WalMart today, sit down in my chair and the the News has a story about counterfeit goods being sold online at Walmart, Amazon, and such.

Fake Yeti cups, all kinds of ****.

What are the odds my Pennzoil is Fake ? How do you know?

Anybody know how to read the codes on the bottles?
I don't want to alarm you because I don't know the actual answer but this is the reason I don't like Amazon, you really have to be careful and see who you're actually getting it from. I've seen that on Walmart too. I've always wandered how they can sell the 5qt jugs so much cheaper than the 6 qt cases. That's one reason I haven't used PUP, just skeptical. Depending on what the price is from the dealer will be one of the factors if I keep using it. At least with redline and Amsoil you can order straight from the company, more confidence you're getting the real thing.

I ordered a big box of Duracell AA batteries (2 kids under 6 go through a **** ton of batteries) from Amazon a couple years ago and it clearly showed Duracell batteries in the pics. When I got them they died really quick and when I looked closely at the lables it was clear they were cheap Chinese knockoffs. Gotta be careful on Amazon...

You could always send a ****** sample to blackstone for analysis.

Well you guys got me thinking and I checked all my Redline gallons I got from Amazon. They all look identical with different lot numbers than the 2 gallons I got from jegs.com. I'm thinking going forward I'm going to order directly from Redline. Knowing I'm getting the genuine oil is worth the extra $10 in shipping...

Actually if you order directly form amsoil you are sure to get group 3 instead of “synthetic”.



:33:



I know. That was not fair. Just pullin your leg. Amsoil is good oil. Just didn’t work for me and i wish it did.

I haven't checked in awhile but I thought if you bought a quantity,$150, shipping was free. By the time you add you're oil to some S1 it don't take long to get to that level.

In the end redline has a distinct color and SMELL. So if your not sure... just smell it. You know you want to. I almost tasted it last time. Ya know. Just a tincy dap on my finger.
