Usually buy it here and get some volume discount but not sure if it's the cheapest:

I use it because I traipsed through a load of manufacturers bumf on viscosity at high and low temperatures, HTHS values and the type of synthetic ingredients used. It isn't cheap I suppose and is possibly overkill in a stock vehicle (?). It is stable to ~150C so is well suited to track driving - I don't measure oil pressure or temperatures but at my level of power and 15 minute stints I wouldn't be getting that much heat into the system. I replace it every 5000 miles.
