How much of a saving is it? Why not just go with the brand you have used in the past and feel comfortable with?

I have only used Mobil 1 once (we've only had the vehicle a short time) and it didn't see more than 500 kms because it puked all the oil out last week (a WHOOOLE other story). The Mobil 1 cost $10/liter up here and is hard to find. Canadian Tire flyer today adverts a 5 liter jug of Penzoil Platinum 5w30 for 23 dollars. So basically, a savings of 50 dollars or so and is easy to get my hands on. As long as it works like it should - I'll gladly save the $$.
Also, at the risk of the ire of some on this forum....I need an oil filter and Lordco quoted me 9 dollars for the Purolator. He said it's stamped "Mann" on it. I may give it a go. Next time I'm near a BMW dealer I'll pick up an OEM unit.
