I just got an email from NAPA (they've apparently been spying on me since I ordered a tractor battery online a few months ago.)  They have their private label 0W-20 synthetic oil for $3.49 per quart.  That's cheaper than buying 4 or 5 quart jugs at Walmart.

IIRC, NAPA has good filters too, made by Wix.

Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Seems to me that were I stopped for a dealer plate frame and ticketed, I'd be stopping by the dealer with said ticket in hand, expecting them to cover it.

Been done repeatedly, with about a ~30% success rate from what I've heard.

If it goes to court, pretty much a zero success rate, as the judge will tell you that you're responsible for making sure a vehicle under your control is in compliance with the law.

I can see that, but I can also see the argument that the dealer is responsible for selling a car that complies with existing law and you might have a pretty good shot if you took them to small claims court.
