Around here it's a tie with Mobil 1 frequently being as cheap or better. I have no brand loyalty at all as long as it has the certification for my fleet vehicles under the 100k mile warranty!

I'd probably stick with M1 or Quaker State Ultimate Durability unless I was ignoring the OLM and doing 5K OCI's.
 
Quaker State Ultimate Durability here runs around $20.00 for the 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart.

Have had no issues with it. Wife and I use their 5W20 year around and we see long hot Summers here in the deep south.
 
Around me, Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w30 when on sale at Advance for $20/5 quarts and a filter. Havoline full synthetic 5w30 is also sometimes on sale for $20/5 quarts with a filter. Sometimes the Advance will run out of Havoline and substitute Quaker State Ultimate Durability, M1, or PP. YMMV on that one!
 
Some time back Amazon had a Warren brand 6 quart pack for $20.80. Forget if it was Peak or Accell. May be worth watching them.

If your lowes still has peak Full Synthetic on clearance, the 5 qt jugs are just shy of $14 and have the dexos approval.
 
Quaker State Ultimate Durability usually, but recently I was able to score some AcDelco DEXOS syn. blend and a PF457G filter for $26.00, three bucks cheaper than Quaker State Ultimate Durability and same filter. Will probably use the UD again for the Delco oil is rarely on sale. I must add that I purchased from a wholeseller of AcDelco and Motorcraft supplies.
 
Is NAPA synthetic Dexos-approved? It can be had for $3.49/qt, and we know it's just relabeled Valvoline SynPower.
 
Quaker State Ultimate Durability is getting a little pricey here in nj... It was $21.80 last time i looked so i am back to my bulk oil i use in the shop
 
I would once say Quaker State Ultimate Durability, it is no longer true in Southern Ontario, it is being priced as high as other oils or at least not much cheaper to M1 & Castrol. You can have any Dexos1 approved oil for cheap if you look around in your town and buy it on sale and combine it with a coupon...
 
Since I get my filters separate plus application is a 7 qrt. sump (son's Trailblazer) I'm pretty much looking for 5 qrt. jugs at Walmart . Based on replies it's most likely going to be Quaker State Ultimate Durability ...If Supertech met or exceeded * DEXOS 1 I would gladly buy it !

* While son's TB doesn't require DEXOS 1 as a synthetic - I am leaning heavily towards it due to the enhanced spec.
 
It seems that the difference between the cheapest and typically priced 5w30 is $1/qt...not much to worry about over .0007¢/mi. for a 7500 OCI....a bit more if you have to add some between OCs....or change the oil sooner....less if your OCIs go 10k miles....and that's retail/MSRP...less if you get the more expensive lube on sale...
