Pricing seems pretty consistent everywhere. We get ours from Summit or Lane Automotive. Be sure to amortize the added cost across longer change intervals. Full synthetic works out way cheaper in the long run. For sure, if you were to experience momentary oil starvation due to high lateral loading (i.e. auto-x or road course) or an overheating scenario, added film strength at the bearings will surely pay off, a lot.
Just remember that if you're firing a new engine for the first time, break it in on non-synthetic until vacuum increases, then levels off. Gotta get those rings to seal, and in this regard, the Red Line Oil works too well. For that process we use, Valvoline 5W-30 in conjunction with Red Line engine break-in additive. Lucas Oil makes a good engine break in additive as well.
