I always used ASL in the past, is the Signature Series new?
I couldn't see a product comparison on the web site

Around Western NY, you can get Kendall GT-1 Full Syn in 5W30 everyday for $2.99/qt...which is also a good deal - but I do like the convenience of the 5 quart size.

I should note I snagged a deal too and got 5 quart containers of valvoline synthetic 10w30 for 4 bucks a piece. I snatched up everything they had left in the store which was like 10 containers.

All my other cars get oil from Wal-mart - great prices in 5 gal containers. Plain Mobil 1 for the (2) I30s and Motorcraft semi-synth 5-20 for the Expeditoin. I use Purolator Pure One oil filters (Pep Boys locally) on the G. I'll move to Pure One filters for the I30s once my NOS stash of Nissan filters runs out.
I change all vehicles every 5000 miles. No extreme math to decide when to change...

Take the following FWIW (the smaller the wear scar the better, just for reference):

And I'm not a dealer either
I'm just a long time user.
