I buy it by the case when they have it for $2.99 a quart. Wife's Cherokee takes 6 quarts 5W20, gets changed between 7000-8000 miles when the oil minder is around 10%.

Not hardly worth the drive downtown to NAPA if you're leaning in that direction.
Depends on just how far it is.
With the Walmart jug, you have to buy the big 5qt jug. If your car doesn't take the full 5 quarts, you're stuck with that big bottle for only a little oil. And some people on here don't like Walmart for some reason.
Napa lets you buy the individual quart bottles, which are easier to pour, and if you only need 4 quarts, the last one stays in the sealed bottle. Or even if you need 4.5 qt, the last half quart stays in a little bottle instead of a big jug

None on Magnatec, either.

Shame i would use it if it met HTO-6. I have a turbo Cruze. I just feel the DEXOS spec shouldn't be applicable to forced induction engines. Wonder why they don't meet that? Or why they don't try if they can.

It will probably be fine in your Cruze. You should be ok as long as you use a full synthetic
