One gallon jugs of Rotella are now $20 so 4X20 then $20 more for the filter... if you do it yourself, $100 for an oil change... Now pick you change interval!

Where in the world are you buying your oil??

I was paying about $10 a gallon for either Rotella, Mobil or Chevron Delo @ Walmart in '07 when I sold my truck. A Motorcraft filter was maybe $10 @ FLAPS. Still not the cheapest oil change, but my intervals were about ~7k miles. Fuel and air filters weren't that bad, as I recall.
