Was planning on changing the oil in 944 next weekend and went to Walmat for the oil. They used to sell 5 qt jugs for $28. No longer, and there's threads all over the internet (mostly Porsche and HD forums) about it.
I bought a couple of QUARTS for $8 If you're using this, where are you buying it locally and for how much? Is there an equivalent synthetic out there?

Saw some Mobil-1 (qt's only, no jugs, 15-50) a few weeks ago at the Autozone in Centerville (28/29 interchange). I dont run mobil 1 though, just "regular" 20-50 in the summer.

The previous owners used Mobil 1. I'm superstitious about going back to conventional, but have considered it.

Have not seen any at a big box store for a while. I bought two cases at an auto parts store in down town WG and just picked up another case at NAPA today. No idea what the cost is, but $8/qt sounds about right.

I found some at the Advance Auto Parts near me. It was ~$6/qt IIRC.
Lately I've been mixing the M1, Valv Race 20w-50 (dino), and Castrol dino 20w-50 with no ill effects.

Seems like Wally World has a bunch in the spring around here, but nothing after that.

L finds it at WMart now and then. Buys 4 or 5 of the big bottles when she does.

I switched to Motul. Can't find M1 15W50 anymore except in the qt. bottles for $8+ per. For that kind of money, I'll take Motul and have it delivered.
