The cheapest I've seen is the Amalie stuff at about $5.50/qt, so these days M1 is nowhere near twice the price. For $1.22/qt difference, to me it makes sense to run the specified oil. But that's just me.

I can't believe many here give a second thought to the cost difference between 0W and 5W. If you change oil 3 times/year you'll save enough for a cup of coffee.
I mean everyone is driving a $60-80k Camaro and discussing mods as high as $50k, so... really?
