I swtched also due to cost, M1 is pretty affordable if you buy the jugs from Walmart.

I second this, and if you check out Bob Is The Oil Guy reviews of it, you will see that many more people really like this stuff too!

Actually, I get the Ultra or whatever the newest formulation is. Excellent oil and at a fairly reasonable price. I change it every 5K miles and use a Purolator Pure 1 oil filter.

I do that even though I had free oil changes thrown in. They do the labor, but I buy the oil and filter because after doing my research, I firmly believe that this is cheap insurance.
