not to start a war or anything, but why?

I switched to Castrol from M1 due to concerns over M1's reformulation.

yeah, i bought the castrol deal. got the 10-40 for the porsche and the k&n filters for the wife's suv. 10qts and 2 filters for 68.00. it ended up being something like 4.25qt if you factor in the cost of the k&n filters.

Advanced Auto had a screaming weekend deal a few months back. 33% off. Oh wait but tha excluded the oil. But they specially priced the oil at $5.
Before the sale Castrol was nearly $9 per quart. I remember doing a double take, that would have been easily the most expensive oil change since 2004.

Got 10 quarts this morning... ordered online, drove down to the store and picked it up. Painless, and a great deal. Thanks to the OP.
