So are they identical European Mann cartridges?

Yes, agreed, from cut & paste threads, i'm not impressed with the ProTec spin-ons either. These new cartridge ones are called ProFormer now, not Protec but i'm sure it's just a name change. They are made in Vietnam and have nice solid construction.

Some have plastic end pieces, some don’t. Date codes ranging from January 23’ to July 23’. So a poo shoot all around

Picked up 2 more 5 quart Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage at my local Walmart for $23.78 each...With the current promotion I'll get a $20 gift card...So it's pretty close to buy 1 get 1 free.

Just ordered 2 5qt jugs of Castrol Edge 0W-20 from Amazon. Gonna submit for the rebate when the come in next Saturday. This will be the first time I have bought and used Castrol since I bought the infamous German Castrol with the 502.00/505.00 cert for my Audi which has to be at least 15 years ago. It will be a while till I get to use it but it will most likely be for the Legacy though, it may be used for the Impreza depending on what I have left.
The Legacy has been on a steady diet of M1 EP for a few years now minus the one time use of HPL last OCI and the Impreza is on the 3rd usage of PUP. Got one more jug of PUP then 4 of PP.

The Castrol equal to Mobil-1 EP is Castrol Edge EP. The EP is worth the few extra dollars in cost - my eyeballs / ears-gathering opinion
I couldn't find the EP in 0W-20 at Amazon but the 5W-20 was ~$4 more per jug. Walmart has it but it is through AA and $42. This was under $25/ea for subscribe and save plus the $20 rebate brings it down to $15 per 5 quarts. Still not as good as past years with M1 and PUP. One of the years, the end cost was around $10. I would like to try the Edge EP but when I am doing 2k mile oil changes in the Impreza, the extra cost isn't worth it unless it was a dollar or 2. At least when I use the M1 EP I'm doing 6k oil changes and with their rebate it makes it the same cost.
I have a third car that also takes the same viscosity but I have been using Kirkland in that car and have another 9 jugs of it.

That's the new Valvoline Synthetic jug label?...... not impressed.
At first I thought it was their conventional oil. Or is it?
I can't make the letterhead text any bigger. All I can make out is it's Dexos 1.

That's Full Synthetic Extended Protection
Man - I went to 2 AAP's this weekend looking for something and I specifically looked for clearance oil since I was there. I never get lucky anymore.
It seems like a sporatic one off, @53' Stude saw it in his area and I saw it in mine. Not enough to cause a ruckus. I do see T4 at Walmart is still at a really decent price if you are looking for it.
