If it meets the specifications for oil, then its just as good. Also, you dont need to change every 3k unless you have very harsh driving conditions or just like changing your oil. Certainly wont hurt it though.

I drive long distances at 80 mph sometimes accelerating to 90 mph with a 1.5 liter 74 hp motor. I think that is driving it hard. The Dodge has 150,000 miles on it.

I run the walmart crap in my old truck, but try to put a litter more expensive brand in my nicer vehicles. it probably doesn't make a difference, but it makes me feel good.
I have noticed that the walmart oil has a different smell to it when it burns. Also valvoline has an identifiable smell. I did have to use some walmart power steering fluid in my car today, I wasn't very happy about it, but I was in a bind. |

I think there is a lot of hype involved in the selling of oil. If the oil you are looking at meets the requirements of the engine mfg. then it is good enough. Look for the SF ratings like G,F, etc. in both your manual and on the bottle.

Any of the the major manufacturers will package their oil with your name on it providing you purchase their minumum quantity.
There is a whole bunch of the same damn oil being sold under many different names and at many different prices. AR15.COM oil anyone? drrocket Oil? I think TC oil has a nice ring to it! |

I only run Kendall oil as being my engine builder who built my 460HP/470TQ SB told me as he tells all his customers to run Kendall oil.

Supertech oil has somewhat of a weak additive package, but in analyists seems to do well in engines.

Seems to be good stuff, but I am a big motor sports fan so I try to support the oil companies that are generally big supporters of motor sports......
