More info: the rebate is limited to (5) 1-gallon jugs (for a total of $60 back); or (2) 5-gallon pails ($120 back).
"Limit of two (2) $60 Rebates per household."

It was $24.49/gallon at Mills Fleet Farm the last time I was there, a couple months ago. Actually a dollar or two cheaper than M1 TDT. Meijer's has it too, but neither FF nor Meijer's mentions it on their web sites.

Got delivery on 5 more gallons of Devac1 5w-40. I guess an optimist is someone with enough oil to last another 130k miles for a car with 350k miles.
350k miles for an ALH engine is just nicely broken in.

What about the rest of the car..........just nicely broken in?
Most every other part can be replaced and is worth replacing, once you've decided to keep the car forever.

Just picked up 4 gal at Advance Auto back Friday evening at $29.99/gal. Not quite as good as what Rich found, but after rebate not too shabby...

All Mobil 1 oil, including the ESP 0W-30 but not the ESP 5W-30, are on sale at NAPA for $5.99/L. I just sent an email to NAPA's customer service and see why the ESP 5W-30 would be excluded from the sale.

Probably because of its super high MSRP.

Napa has Valvoline MST 5w-40 for $5.50 per liter.

They also have Valvoline Synpower XL-III 5W30 $133 for 19L. That’s $33 per oil change if you need 507.

Depends on your TDI.

The early ones were 505, the PDs were 505.01, and then along came 507.
I would only recommend 507.00 for the CR engines, and a robust CJ-4 or CK-4 5w40 for all older TDIs, VE or PD.

The best deal I'm currently finding is Rotella T6 5w-40 from WalMart. 2.5gal for $56. That's $5.60 qt.
Anyone know a better deal now?

Amazon is running a few sweet deals on a 3 pack of 1 gal Rotella T6 5w-40 in the past 30 days. You have to watch it or set a price alert but you can catch it very heavily discounted.
As of this posting its the "normal" price of about $80-$84, but in the past 30 days has bounced down to $54.88 on occasion. By my math 12 quarts for $54.88 is $4.57/quart.

Hope anyone looking gets in on the deal. Everywhere local to me has it marked higher.
