It was probably thrown in to give a sense of the variety available, but just about every grocery store or even gas station has cheap motor oil available. It's not like you need very much of it very often. It's just a bad article with bad quotes. I'm sure a huge number of people on HN remember weeks as a poor student and having to hack $10 to last a week or more. $40 a week, that's a luxury!

You never drove an old hooptie, like I did in my early years!

Oh, how I am reminded that I need to add yet another quart of oil into my Isuzu for the next two weeks.

So that’s how you keep it from rolling over.
