    Walmart 5 quart jugs less than $5 per quart. I only fill with exactly
    4 quarts with filter for oil change. At 10,000 miles when I change
    nearly 4 quarts comes out.

    I don't remember what the book calls for, but changed my oil and filter and 4 qts put it right on the full mark. Found the 0W20 at only one Walmart and it's 65 mile from me so I have to plan my trip there.

    As of today, my local Costco still has only 5W30 and 10W30. But the last time I was in the nearest WalMart (pre-holiday), it had both single quarts and 5 quart jugs of 0W20.

    Walmart price check last week or so here was $26.48 for the 5-qt jug of Mobil-1.
    The 5-qt jug is Walmart branded Mobil-1 return special so you can return the used oil to Walmart in the same jug. I usually keep some empty 1-qt containers around in case I want to split the jug up.
