To the point where I'm going to either buy castrol or buy another oil and start doing UOAs, but I'll skip using my 0w40 at this stage.

Yes I'll skip the mobil-1 for the castrol as well--But it seems the discussion got away from the question-try to engender a little humor and get scolded for it--I hope owning a Porsche doesn't "deplete" my sense of humor--

5 quart bottles of 10w40 Castrol Syntec are at Walmart for $21.

I bought 2 for $42 + an oil filter. Figure with tax, $60 for an oil change.

At that price range, and with what JFP has stated, it was an easy choice for this year. I may even toss in $35 at the end of the year to do a UOA.

It's a shame that 50% of communication is non-verbal. We couldn't see the wink of your eye...
