Found it today selling for 8.19 a quart at http://k-mansparts.com/ .. I have been looking for some time and best I could find was circa 10 dollars a quart. Just passing this on.
Autopartstomorrow has it for 8.89/qt and free shipping. Is shipping free @ K-Mansparts?
Thanks.

Is the same fluid that ford used in early GT prduction? I thought they quit making that stuff, it was significantly more expensive than the typical 5w50.
No, its not the same oil developed for the GT. I will not get into a debate on if its 'good enough'.
I use Rotella T6 which works very well in this engine with good oil analysis results to back it up.
The closest analysis reports I have are from 36,000 miles in a GT500, when I do my next change on the GT, it will get an analysis done too.
If you would like to do a bit of reading on the subject as applied to GT500 engines which are very similar, please read this thread:

According to this, Motorcraft 5w50 loses an average of 30% of its shear strength by ~1500mi.
