Walmart around $25 for 5 quart and a $10 filter (Yes 4.5 quart with new oil filter is the correct amount)

Just curious how the Mobil 1 High Mileage helped with the oil consumption. Does this oil have any special additives that helps with worn rings or some thing?

It seems as if she loves it though. Runs great. Castrol is just a preference of mine.

I only can find black jar Castrol full synthetic oil 0w20. but for Mobil 1, I use gold bottle advanced synthetic.
wondering why Castrol does not have 0w20 for gold jar advanced full synthetic
