You don't consider $6+ per quart expensive, times 8 quarts per oil/filter change?

I just had mine changed last week to Penz Platnium. The engine idles very smooth with it and seems to perform well.

Mobil 1 full synthetic, look at the oil filler cap on Ferrari, Mercedes, Audi, etc etc, you'll find Mobil 1 written on the cap.
