I've been doing some thinking about extended oil change intervals. In particular, I am wondering what is the real cost of extending the OCI. For example, Amsoil will compare 25,000 miles on conventional oil and regular filters, to 25,000 miles with their Signature Series, and one Ea filter...

I just did my second fill of Pennzoil Platinum (the new gtl stuff). For the first fill, I had a Wix filter on it. It took around 1500km before I could easily start to see the oil level on the stick (e.e., it was so clear I could not see it). On this new fill, where I used a Motomaster MPH4967...

I just did an oil change on my car, and I used one of those 5L jugs (PP). My car takes 4L, and even though I was trying to be careful (poured a bit, then checked how much was left in the jug) I still ended up with a slight over fill. I don't think it is so much over full as to be a problem, but...

I am looking at this Walmart Tune It! oil in the 5 gallon pail. It is my understanding that it is re-branded Supertech oil, and is re-refined by Safety-Kleen here in Canada. What do you all think of this oil? I would be using it in my 05 Corolla.
