What do you use? Where do you buy yours from? I currently buy it from where I buy our oil from, and I'm trying to see if I can get a better deal.

Thank you in advance.

We have a bulk tank and purchase ours from an outside oil company that we used before we got on the GM program. I think we pay $1.20 per gallon for -20* fluid. In the warmer months, you can stretch it out by cutting it with water.

I have even heard stories from the driver about some places that will buy blue toilet tablets and add to straight water in the summer months. :lol:

The local Jiffy Lube manager was proud of the fact he saved so much money doing this. That location is no longer open LOL

I called my local NAPA and we're going to switch to them when I buy my next batch of fluid. Going to be saving almost $35 per drum on premix.

We've had problems mixing our own from concentrate, and I do not have the space in my parts room here to mix it in-house. We keep it all in our lube bay next door.
