Yikes, $96 bucks for only a little more than half what you need. My local NAPA usually has enough in stock for me.
Even worse is that the 996TT takes an additional 2 litters over us poor NA folks. And I thought the 996 was bad when it came out (highest capacity car I had until then was only 4 quarts!)
Looks like he can save a couple of bucks from Suncoast:

I wanted to find the logic behind the ‘new’ ‘Classic’ line of oil, cuz Porsche has smart marketing people, right? So I burned quite a few brain cells doing some fuzzy math and calculus on an envelope. I used the Product Rule (real) to solve (imaginary) using a new form of math no one will ever use called differential integration.
Solve for d, where d = reason for product introduction

In a nutshell, where d=reason, Porsche solved the problem and concluded:
D*reason = 2x$

NO ONE warned me that there would be math on this forum. My head hurts now. I'm going to lie down.
