Motul 5W 40 - Where to buy?

[711white]

I am about to do my first oil change on my new to me Boxster. After reading many threads on which oil to use I have decided to use Motul 5W 40 Excess providing a can find a reliable place to purchase this oil. I have checked my local parts stores and they do no carry this brand of oil. Can someone recomend a online store that gives customers a great price on this oil. I found this oil on MotorSpot racing gear for $44.50 for a 5 liter jug. Free shipping if I spend $100. My second and third choine will be Castrol Syntec and then Pennziol Platinum 5W 40. Any help would be appreciated!

Personally, I'd save the money and go with the Castrol Syntec (I prefer the 10W-40, which you can often find at your local Wal-Mart for about $23-25 per 5 Qt jug). The Motul product is good oil, but (A) Hard to find; and (B) Very expensive (way too expensive for what it is). We have tested both, and prefer the Syntec 10W-40 without hesitation......

I was just by a Walmart...they had the Castrol Syntec 10-40 at $23.50 for a 5 quart container. That's $4.70 a quart.


Oh, I live in Florida...don't need 0, plus my Boxster has 68k on it.

Thanks for the replys. Is Castrol syntec 10W 40 porsche approved? My car has about 6 months of warranty left and I do not want to void out the warranty. I would not hesitate to use 10W 40 if my car was not under warranty. I also plan to drive my car during he winter. Will 10W 40 be sufficient for winter driving as well as summer?

I still can't find Castrol Syntec in 10w40 around here.

here are two online places: 10.99 for the BMW approved.
8.99 for VW approved, 8.99 for the porsche approved.
