They filled the back order at that price, it's coming this week. :D

The website still says:

This item is currently on backorder with no eta date from the manufacturer. You may place an order for this item on line or call 1-800-345-4545 and speak with one of our technical sales representatives to discuss your best options!
(Option 2 for sales, then option 2 for a technical sales rep)

They must be only filling the backorders and at that price, I'm sure they sold a bunch.

I'm still not  sure about using full synthetic oils. I've heard they are harder on Gaskets,Seals, O rings. Is that just a myth or what?o.O

I've never heard that really and the big difference is that synthetic oil doesn't break down as fast and offers additives that are friction modifiers. When oil breaks down and loses it's ability to properly lubricate, you get more friction which takes a toll on internal engine parts with wear and gumming up the engine, which is why it's important to regularly change oil. Repair shops used to (may still today) offer oil flushes to clean a gummed up engine. Today, clearances are much smaller and tighter and in some cases you have to use synthetic oil. I would say synthetic on newer cars more than older makes a difference and could extend the life of an engine. Once oil breaks down, turns black, no good.

I just ordered this again and its still 3.99 a quart. I ordered enough to get free shipping and used code SAVE30 for another $10 off. Came out to like $3.63 a quart after tax and free shipping. Can't beat that!

The company said the program includes more than 1,100 all-new, not remanufactured, Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MFI), and Throttle Body Injection (TBI) injectors, along with GDI high-pressure fuel pumps, fuel feed lines, fuel pressure dampers, fuel pressure sensors, fuel pressure regulators, service kits and more.
      Fuel Injector Coverage and Testing

      link hidden, please login to view noted that its gas fuel injectors are 100% new, never remanufactured, and deliver OE-matching spray patterns and flow rates to help optimize fuel mileage and performance. SMP-manufactured fuel injectors are designed and built in SMP’s IATF 16949-certified facility in Greenville, South Carolina. The company added that all Standard fuel injectors undergo extensive testing, including initial life-cycle validation and 100% end-of-line testing. The testing regimen involves more than 35 different tests and inspections, including endurance, spray pattern, thermal cycles, vibration, shock load, and dynamic and static flow. Multiple new GDI and MFI injectors have recently been released, adding coverage for millions of import vehicles, including the 2020–25 Nissan Frontier and 2021–25 Subaru Crosstrek. Additionally, MFI fuel injector multi-packs are available, covering more than 31 million vehicles.
