Apparently they sell it in these eco-boxbags. I picked one up on sale from a random website along with some K&N oil filters for the Miata. I figure it’s worth a try.

I really wish I had just grabbed filters from Amazon though. Now I’ll have to wait for these to arrive and I’m getting sick of spending all day doing job applications. Networking event tomorrow night so hopefully that can shake something loose.

This requires an awesome Dutch vaporwave based answer:

Yeah I’m kinda wondering what the implications of using meteorite-based fuels in your E30 are , but if that’s the price you have to pay for radness, it’s worth it.

I’m not opposed, but the box design lends itself to reminders of the Franzia Boxes of wine a touch.

What kind of job are you looking for, btw? I think I asked before, but I don’t recall.

70% less plastic, but the 30% that remains isn’t recyclable. Good marketing, Havoline.

im really bothered by that math. I know they aren’t saying it adds up to 100% but it being 10% off of 100% and the way its stacked makes my brain angry.

I also came to say they remind me of the only way I consume my wine: out of a box.

Marketing’s not going to focus on math.

as a marketer I agree with this statement 110%

Why not 200%? You gotta think big to win big.

I’m 97% in with this being purely marketing and 4% in with the math being bad.

Looking for a [ Head of/Director/VP] of Marketing job - ideally at a growing company under 50 people where I’ll be able to build a team do some early hands on and go-to-market type work. I’d settle for a [ Head of/Director] of [ Creative/Brand/Content Marketing] at a slightly larger company though. I’ve also applied to some roles that focus on growing startups through a corporate entity (like Business Designer at Ford’s innovation unit ).

Yeah, I imagine that the nature of being for oil and having a plastic liner makes the box useless but at least it’s made from plants instead of dinos.

That sounds pretty darn interesting . It would be great to see you hit the ground running in that kind of role.

Seems odd to add the extra quart, but it would be nice for me since I go through at about 3-4 quarts in between oil changes on the subaru anyways. So I could avoid buying as many jugs that way. As is though I use Rotella and that is just over 4 quarts per jug which works out nicely to just buy two per change.

Yes I basically always have clean oil because of the amount lost lol. And yes its perfectly normal because subaru. I realllly need a catch can.

I like it being 6 qts, both my current and my previous Volvo take ~ 6, and that last quart is always overpriced if you buy 5+1.
