8qt's of Synthetic. What did you expect? Can be found a bit cheaper though, but not by much. You can do it yourself for a lot cheaper.

$110 is a bit high, don't think you'll find it for $60. I'd say $90-$100 +/- (at a dealer) would be the norm.

You do know that the 2011, V6 calls a Synthetic blend, don't you? With that said, I'm not sure how much difference a blend makes, but just wanted to mention it.

For me, Mobile 1 since 1200 miles.
