$9 per quart Cast from? Say it isn't so.
So I drop in to check prices on oil for the 328 and discover the Euro oil is nearly $10 per quart. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
As I did some searching, I stumbled upon 5 quarts for $22 with free shipping on orders over $35. Well, I will do that twice on Sunday (because it was) and a third time at that. This is working like the Coca Cola prophecy. If you buy single bottles, prepare to pay out the nose thanks to packaging and taxes on them using plastic that often winds up in land fills. But, buy in bulk, for Coke it is 20 oz. versus 2 liter, and suddenly you are home free. Now if I only had a need for that 55 gallon drum deal. One would think that spmeone pwuld have figured out how we could return the plastic jugs and they could be reused for the same product.

FCP euro has lifetime warranty on everything (including oil). Buy it the first time, then return/exchange for new oil for every change thereafter.

I saw that. But, am I paying for the return and if I am doing an oil change on a daily driver, then why not order enough to sit on it and not have to return it? Frankly, everyone doing as you suggested should wonder where the unused oil is going....as in whether they are well aware of it and are repackaging the unused oil.

$9 a quart isn't expensive - at all. If even the FCP option is not good enough for you (at the sole expense of the first oil change purchase and the return shipping) then perhaps you should re-evaluate the car you've chosen to drive.
