I just bought a 5qt jug of Valvoline MaxLife 150K 5W20 from Amazon for $28.99. It's going to be the next oil that goes into my '03 Civic EX. Probably not til October, but in the meantime, I'm going to send in a sample to Blackstone for a VOA. 
Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

I bought a Fram Ultra XG11665 from Amazon for $9. That's a couple bucks cheaper than Walmart!
5 jugs of Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil, 5 Quart which was on sale for $17.

It's $27.47 on Walmart website. Always check the website and inform the cashier. I got this yesterday and had them readjust it to $27.47 after they confirmed it.
Managed to grab an extra case of some Kirkland FS 0W-20 just before the price hike for the 5qt-2pk, as well as three FRAM TG7317s. I should be set for the next 18 months or so.
I picked up a jug of Supertech Advanced 0w20 on sale for only $20. I think it is a solid oil for a great price. I'm waiting on a UOA from my wife's Jeep. I think it was a 4k or 4.5k run.
TL;DR: I got some Supertech 15w-40 and a Fram PH7317.
Well, I had to break down and pay full price for oil for the first time in years.
I had a leaking clutch slave cylinder on my Goldwing.
There is a possibility that some of the brake fluid was able to enter the engine, so I am changing the oil and filter early just to be safe.
I was planning on buying some Mobil 1 10w-40 HM when the next rebate period started (was not going to need the oil for 2-3 months).
With me having to change earlier than I planned, I now find myself with no oil in my stash to use in my bike (well, I have some Rotella T6 0w-40, but have read that is not ideal for a wet clutch bike like the 5w-40 is, so not gonna use it).
I decided to just go cheap and get some Supertech 15w-40 and a Fram PH7317.
I also checked the Fram to see if it had the orange ADV (I know the black is supposed to be silicone, but I like orange ), so dug through the Walmart stock and found one (3 actually, just grabbed 1 though) with an orange one (date code shows Nov 22, 2021).
I had debated using a ST6607, but for not even $1 more, I got a slightly larger filter with a silicone ADV.
Not that oil or filter choice will really matter, I only plan on a 2,000 mile interval.
I do oil changes at x5,000 miles, and I am at 92,930 miles now.

Got this the next day with free shipping, great packaging, some bonus points and for the great deal I used PayPal credit which took off another $20.
They wrapped each in a huge bubble pouch. Oh their website charges no sales tax unless you are in their state...wow

FYI ... from the freezer and flame tests, I'd say the black ADBV on the Fram filters is nitrile.
