Looking for Phillips 20/W50 XC in central California

Alright all you BCP guys in the area, where is the best place around to buy aviation oil? Either somewhere I can drive to between San Fransisco or Sacramento or an airport where I can fly in and pick it up. My stock of oil from Cheyenne is running dry. I was getting it for 50 bucks a case out there, not sure if I'll be able to get that good of a deal out here though.

Rob every airplane related part I have ever bought not off the net around here came from Sacramento Sky Ranch. Not sure of their prices on stuff though. It's fairy easy to drive to from our area.

Fly into Sac Executive, borrow the loaner car from the jet center and head down the street to Sac Sky Ranch. If you're a type club member of any sort check to see if they offer any discounts - i just joined the 180 club and they show a pretty long list of discounts from Sky Ranch, to include one on Phillips oil.

Rob:

Definitely Sac Sky Ranch. Think I paid riight at $57 a case. Let me know if you need me to pick some up for you, I drive right by there to and from work, and am in there pretty often buying stuff for either airplane.. I have an extra case of Phillips in the hangar too if you want to meet up over in Lodi.

Thanks for the offer, I still have a case to make it for a while. When piperpainter moves down here in a few days we are going to fly over there together and pick up some stuff.

Could also try Costco. They carry Aeroshell here- not sure about Phillips.
