I placed an order with eliteracefab for 7 quarts of 5W-30 Redline oil to pair up with the 20-820 RP filter and to my surprise, 2 gallons (or 8 quarts worth showed up). I'm not exactly concerned about that as it's at least more than less but the stupid ****** gallon bottles don't have a way to see when you're at 1 quart remaining so I have to poor into my CC measuring cup 950 cc basically. Not a huge deal at all. it's an extra minute of my time and also thought that was funny. They must have no single quart jugs of the stuff in stock and instead of disappointing me as the customer they just sent a bit more. Well done ERF!

I'd be happy if they'd get me the 4 gallons I ordered from them due to me on July 8, and nowhere to be found or updated about. This extremely poor performance didn't happen in the last century. Nobody gives a damn today.

If its not really loud, you may not notice much difference. I think for the worse tick it's definitely noticeable.

I must be special. Good on you.

Let me guess - they shipped via UPS, not FedEx. They never explained to me why they told me they shipped UPS, but actually was FedEx, who promptly wrecked their packaging.

Fedex - I've honestly had more issues with USPS than any other carrier.
UPS once lost one of my company packages but paid me the insurance within 2 weeks.
USPS loses your stuff and they're basically like oh well we're sorry oh we'll get you the insurance eventually

Not sure if I'd order from ERF anymore myself... awhile back I ordered some RL oil, then after only 10 minutes, I thought the price was so good that I'd go ahead and order more. I emailed them to ask if they could combine the orders into one and then qualify for free shipping. Never got a reply, and to add insult to injury, all the oil was shipped in one box, and I was charged shipping for 2 separate orders. Fool me once...

damn, that's dirty. Yeah, best price isn't always worth it. Knowing that, i may try someone else for my oil in the future.

I would have because I don't trust customer service to do their jobs anymore however, they saw it going to the same place and that's why they combined all in one package and it would have been right to have refunded the customer some of that shipping cost. Not all because increased weight likely added their cost to ship to the customer. Just my two cents.

Most people aren't smart enough to correct a web generated sale unless notified.......they seen it was paid & shipped.
Did you refund or send them back that extra quart you got for free?.........LoL

Yeah I figured you were. My truck seems to really like this new oil though. It has a very distinct smell. Much different than the typical full synthetic oils

Because it's got a bunch of polyol ester base oil in it. It's not refined or manufactured from hydrocarbons - it's reacting an alcohol and an acid. Very different. This is jet engine oil.

which is why it is more expensive than any other oil. You do get what you pay for, it's just a shame Hemi owners still need to flush it @ 5,000 mile intervals. Band-aiding a bad lubrication design is what we're stuck with.

Or using a good quality API Group III or higher synthetic with Lube Gard moly additive.

yeah, it definitely sucks to have to go only 5k miles before changing $100 worth of oil and filter on a dang Ram but still 5 times cheaper than a Porsche Cayenne for what its worth
