Walmart sells them in 5 quart jugs at a great price. Your worries about oil seals are unfounded. I use synthetic oil in my 1995 Ranger and 1999 Explorer (both with over 100,000 miles) with no leaks. Just my 2 cents.

They also get hard and start leaking from too many heat cycles long life of the vehicle , this is why they start leaking . Imports usually have better quality of seals then domestics generally. I have used Mobil 1 synthetic oil for years and have had good results . Even Castrol synthetic is on the same quality level.
