Stupid oil question

Speedway Shipping
Question for those who have ordered from Speedway. How was the order packed? Did the oil come in 6 bottle cases? Separate boxes? How was the oil filter packaged?
Reason I ask is that I made the mistake of ordering from a well known racing vendor, and the package was damaged in shipment. The package never actually made it to me (UPS said customer refused and sent back to vendor), but the tracking appeared to show 1 50lb box for 4 cases of oil (24 quarts) and 2 oil filters. Thinking of how they potentially put all that in 1 box makes it easy to see how it could have been damaged in transit.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, fellow OkieDude!
Oil is oil, as long as you are using correct viscosity, etc. Personally, I believe brand doesn’t really matter. I am using Royal Purple 5W30, Dexos 2nd generation, in my Z, Mobil 1 in Old Viper Pilot’s ‘17 Tundra, and Castrol in his airport car, our late son’s ‘09 MINI Cooper Clubman S. Do what you want. It’s your Hot Body!

Hopefully it will be my cool body. Just installed my cool shirt setup from the race car in the C7. I used to put it the the C6 when I tracked that. This fit almost the same way.
