Not sure if this was sale price, promotion or regular price, but I don't understand what the argument is all about, at this price there is not much difference between cost of synthetic and regular oil.

I just went for my 5k service, and I didn't fulfill my promise earlier in this thread to use synthetic. I have the 4y/55k prepaid maintenance plan, and I asked what the upcharge would be to use synthetic 0W20, and he said $25! So unlike the great price given by your dealer. my dealer is asking me to pay $5/qt on top of the cost for standard blended 0W20. No thanks, I'll stick with the blended.
