an equally capable filter 10.00

$64.00 to do it yourself, add a little more for a shops time. And if your going to go 15k miles between changes your gonna need that $10-$15 oil filter.
Most brands now a days offer 5 quart jugs for cheaper then what 5 individual quarts cost. The last time this topic came up I priced checked some prices. At Walmart you could buy 1 quart of synthetic of $6 or a 5 quart jug for $22.
