maybe this idea has been thrown out there already (hope mods don't get mad! sorry if i'm out of line) but what if the TCC could get some sort of deal with an Oil company so members could get a deal on Oil or something...

For some reason i doubt that's ever going to happen. That's like trying to cut a deal with a gas company to get cheaper gas!

There is no need to. The OEM filter works great in even high hp applications.

That's why I do my own oil changes... and it's very easy for me, since I work for Jiffy Lube. I don't trust anyone else working on my car but me.

I haven't serviced my car yet, but I'll probably use Mobil 1 oil and a Fram oil filter when the time comes.
