Wally World has the Pennzoil for $7.74 per quart... far cheaper than Amzoil.

I wish they sold it in the 5qt jug, like they do for the Euro 5w-30!

I run this in my 2008 Volvo XC70 (requires 8 qts).

Thanks guys,

Oddly the local autozone is carrying the shell t6 32.99 a gallon and they
all stopped carrying the heavy weight mobile 1. I’ll have to see if anyone
has the 5w40 European stuff local. Thanks for all the info guys.
