Yep, fully synthetic and priced right. Pretty close to 2 gallons when all is said and done. Might just pick up another qt to be sure.

Yes it's 9 qts for the '08 pan, if you leave the front filter out, maybe another cup? I bought 10 when I changed pan and filter to '08, figuring it'd be about 9.5qts, but 9 did it (but I am still running a front filter)...
