if you find a source, post to the list, would you? I did the same thing
about a year ago and couldn't find drums (both the 55 gal and the 33 (or
30, or somesuch)) that would work out too much cheaper than buying it by
the quart. there's a distributor about a mile down the road that would
sell me the drums, but it ended up being about $.05/quart cheaper than a
megalowmart quart, which is only ~$.10/quart cheaper than the shop where I
get oil. this was for dino oil, not synthetic.
anyhow, I don't know where you are and I doubt you're local, but I'd be
interested if you find a source and what they charge you.
