I was buying oil at Wal-mart (Union City, California) last night. I
saw Motorcraft 5W-20 was $1.81/quart while 5W-30, 10W-30, and 20W-50
was $1.36/quart. Of course every Wal-Mart has it's own prices set
differently (the 5 quart bottle of Mobil 1 is $2 more at another
Wal-Mart just 10 miles North).

Motorcraft 5W-20 is labelled "semi-synthetic", while the other weights
aren't. I think the 5W-20 label said it was a blend of synthetic and
hydrocracked base oils, while the other weights just said they used
hydrocracked base oils.
