I've never seen the Castrol Edge (Syntec) 5w 40 in 5 quart jugs, but they usually give you the equivalent sale price on the one quart size. I just changed mine and it looked similar to the photos above, but I drove just under 3000 miles since the last change. The magnetic drain plug was nearly spotless.

Autozone had 5 quarts for $29.95 with a free filter. ( I picked out filters
for my wife's car). So I got 10 quarts and 2 filters for $60 plus tax.

Hmmmm....
Please correct me if I'm wrong... But....From the cutouts of the various oil filters shown on this thread I noticed everyone is saying how clean and particle free their filters are... But what I see is that everyone is showing the "inner" tunnel of the filter - Namely the "clean" side.
Have you guys been checking the outside ridges of the filter - Namely the "dirty" side?...

Hi guys,
excuse my poor english, I'm from EU. I think that if you change the oil every 4k or 8k, you must use a semi-racing motor oil for your flatsix; standard oils are formulated for higer mileage and in my humble opinion those motoroils have less detergents. this is, I think, the reason why after 4k your oil seems still like new. I have just changed my motoroil after 5k but it was already dirty. My function is: dirty oil=cleaned engine but this is my opinion.
just a question: what does it mean "European car Formula" on Mobil 1 Jar ?
