AutoZone currently has an oil change special 5qt jug of Castrol GTX and Bosch
filter gets you a ~$7 rebate, final price about $13. Of course you have to
send in for the rebate, which most people won't end up doing, which is why they
offer it.
Syntec is a faux synthetic, hydrocracked oil.

I don't know anything about German castrol Syntec. Castrol Dino oil
used to be very good. Castrol syntec is dino oil at synthetic
prices. If you change oil every 3000 miles it will work. But you
may as well buy a good dino oil. It is cheaper and does the same
thing.

Yes, that's true, especially in a wet climate like Portland.
Also used to be common to find gear lube in the trans, resulting in
