Mike, I'm not sure if I have actually seen it either, but I noted it on the coupon book they send out once a month -- I'll double check that and see if I can pick some up this weekend.  I have noted that different Costcos carry different things some times.

X2 on the WIX.  Also Purolator makes good filters.  Here is a good read on filters.  Ben, I dont know where in Portland you live but the Autozone on TV Hwy in Hillsboro and the Autozone on Lombard st in Portland has synthetic Rotella in gallon jugs and has 15W40 dino oil in gallons and five gallon buckets.  Andy you might want to check your local Autozone, they might have it.  

In Portland it is 19.99 per gallon Rotella synthetic and 13.99 for Rotella dino or 59.99 for five gallons of dino. 

I just heard that the 4.6 may have one or another type of placement on the oil filter, meaning that one could either buy the large sized filter, or the standard short filter. I've always used the larger size since it seems logical that this would mean there is more filtering area for the same amount of oil. I'll see which is which on my truck today, I guess!

Issac,

You make me tired all over when you say stuff like that. I guess your first Rubi's oil pan was your blank canvas for modern art.

Right again, Scott!   It's sitting in a museum in Brooklyn.  

(ok, not really) 

Ben since we have the same vehicle I thought you might like some input.  I put in 6 quarts and a Purolator short filter and it is full.

Edit:  I should say it starts full, and then quickly bleeds out of all possible areas over the course of an oil change interval : )  I really need to fix my valve cover gasket leak.  Once that is fixed I can clean it off and check for all the other leaks.

Be careful of Rotella.

I love Shell Rotella and use it exclusively in both my diesel trucks, but... there are some situations where Rotella is not as good as you may think. It is a diesel formulated oil and as such has a higher than usual level of detergents. As a result, if you use it in an older fairly loose gas engine you may find your engine smoking more, valve seals leaking and such. If you engine has high miles I would recommend the Castrol GTX for older engines as it will lubricate well but won't clean quite as vigorously.
