This oil change cost me $3.75 for 5 quarts of synthetic + $6 oil filter for a total of under $10. Decided to change it early... because, why not?
Gotta LOVE Clearance Oil Sales.
p.s. Thank you Advance Auto Parts and Idemitsu Oil for basically sponsoring this $3.75 Synthetic Oil Change.

Not many reports on this oil, since it's normally so expensive and looks like nobody bought it.
