Crush ring and Castrol - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I ended up ordering a filter and crush rings from Pelican parts. My local Carquest charged me $20 for just the filter and didn't have the crush rings and Pelican has the filter for $10.50 and the rings - Thanks for the info on Pelican parts.

So this is really frustrating.

Walmart has Castrol 10W-30 full Synthetic for $22 for 5 qts but no 10W-40 or 5W-40

At Autozone, I found 10W-40 Castrol full Synthetic but it was $6.99 a quart - too expensive.

Walmart also has 0W-40 Mobil 1 in the 5 quart jug for around $22 but I want to go with Castrol and I think I need either 5W or 10W....

Any ideas?

I last did an oil change last summer (switching to Castrol 10W-40), and got the oil (on sale) at Walmart. However, I didn't find that weight at the Walmart I usually go to---had to drive a few miles down the road to another one.

Apparently there is some variation between Walmarts as to what they carry...

try advanced auto parts. There is also a new chain with some Irish name that has been popping up in this area and maybe yours. I think its oreily's. Remeber stores price match if you find it cheaper at one. I had to use quarts as I couldn't find jugs.
