Inexpensive Mercon SP..

I found a site ( Motorcraft ATF Transmission Fluid Mercon SP XT6QSP )
that charges $4.67/qt but you have to buy 12.

Anywhere else that is cheap? I only need 5 more at the moment but if that is a good price I'll go ahead and order the 12 since I'll need them in the future.

My dealer flat rate labor charge is $85 an hour. You have to move to the northeast and start saving money. It only cost about 3-4 thousand to heat the house in the winter. P.S. Diesel at many stations is over $3 in my area.

I purchased from them. It's 53.04 for a case and 7.95 shipping, Total 63.99 delivered to you door. So it comes to 5.33 per Qt. Your getting it for 5.00 so that's great to!!! The dealer by me want's 7.49 per qt.

Thanks Mike, Silly34 already found a source and put in his order. Me....I'll just keep going to my local girl until she runs out of SP, then I'll find LV somewhere cheaper than her. At least I hope. As often as I change it, I might start extending my change interval to 10K
