Where I live the Castrol syntec and the Mobil 1 are around 40$ a gallon and available only in 0W40, 5W20, 5W30 and 10W30. Royal Purple is available only in specialized stores, so it costs more than it should.

Sam's Club membership, $45.
3 Gal of Rotella at Sam's Club, $75.

I will not pay a membership so I can shop at your store, either you want my business or you dont.
If you want my money you will let me shop at your store for free.
And no I dont want to save $1 on 1,000 rolls of toilet paper and no I do not want to "bag" my own groceries or buy your crappy watered down gas.

Rant over.

We run Royal Purple in the modified using all their products, can you say Sponsor!
Anyway I think if we had to pay for it a case of 12 quarts was around $52.00 for the Engine and $96.00 for the rear end and trans.
You can get a deal from some race shops on it but that is a crap shoot at best.
Amazon is $89.00 per case now.
We can not sell any of the products that they send us our we loose or sponsorship.
