I always used Mobil 1, either from Walmart or Costco when it was on sale. Costco now has their own full synthetic oil at half the price of Mobil 1.
My Chevy truck takes 8 qts, I just bought 2-5qt bottles for $30. So my next oil change will cost me $35. Too bad there are no Costco's in the Lakes Region!

I used to do mine as well, but stopped once they switched over to these insert type filters instead of the prior can type. The inserts are just so messy. Wish I could find a replacement that was the old type.
