Online price right now is $29. In store it's $24 for some reason.
 
Its the same in-store price for 5w30, which tells me that the lower price reflects no shipping. The online $30 is IIRC shipping included.

Unless you are buying a top shelf product like Edge EP and using it for 15,000 mile oil changes like it is intended for, it seems to make no sense to use brand name anything for motor oil. Synthetic motor oil that meets industry or OEM standards is a commodity item like paper napkins or sugar. If you are just going to change it every 5,000 miles, whatever is cheap and meets the spec is fine. Prices are dropping on synthetic oil and now it's reaching the $2.25 to $2.50 a quart price point for very good oil. Even name brand synthetic under $3/qt is getting easy to find.

Which California Costco did you see this at?
 
The GTDI engines I've been using or working on are so hard on oils that a 5000 mile OCI is almost a better idea than trying to squeeze it out to 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

FWIW it has a seal over the mouth of the jug. That's nice. Used it this morning in Highlander.
 
$2.49 per quart for 0W-20 is a great value. No rebates, waiting on lost or denied claims. Simply walk in and walk out.

IMO opinion, you hit the nail on the head, especially if you have a GDI engine...no sense waistline money on expensive oil!

Mobil-1 Vanilla, Pennzoil Platinum, Quaker State Ultimate, Valvoline Advanced, Castrol Magnatec and Edge, are not expensive oils.

My vehicles are worth an extra $10 twice a year, for brand-name synthetic oil. It sure beats spending that $10 on lottery tickets, casinos, card games, cigarettes, beer, fast food and even pot.

What exactly does that extra $10 twice a year buy you? Just 'peace of mind'? Or is there some factual benefit?
