Petro Choice does have the state contract, but you get what you pay for. The lubes that they are selling by the state contact are not the premium grade oils that we (rabbit transit) currently purchases. I spoke to our rep about buying from the state contact and decided to stick with what we're currently getting rather than buy something that may not be as good.

We get our oils from Petro Choice and they do ok. I didn't know they are on the state contract but you can bet I am going to find out about it!

Steve,
RVT doesn't use those vendors. Petro Choice has dropped pricing info off here.

Steve,
We are currently utilizing both Windward and Tri County. We buy A/F from Windward but you have to be careful because their lead times very. We buy bulk 1540, 1540 in 55 gal., synthetic gear oil and 5w30 semi-synthetic in 55 gal from Tri County with no problems.

Is anyone buying motor oil, trans oil, gear oil, and grease off of the state contract? I have received information from two suppliers. Windward Petroleum, and Tri County Petroleum/Petro Choice. Has anyone used either of these vendors?
Thanks,
Steve
