I didn't know that? Being an independent shop owner, I've only used Mobil 1 for the past 40 years for all my synthetic oil changes.
I just bought a 5qt jug of Mobil 1 yesterday, $29. Sometimes I buy it at Costco's, if it's on sale it's cheaper. Add 3 more quarts and a quality oil filter and I'm up to $50 to $60. I have a friend that lets me use his lift so I'm not crawling around on the ground.
Like I said, if you're paying $70 at the dealer you're getting a bargain.
