Is it really worth it?
« on: September 25, 2009, 04:33:56 PM »
I went to the store to get sum oil for my car and they range from 2.79 to 9.99. Now a days with with money being scarce lol, is there truthfull really any difference between the each brand? I know have different additves and what not but they all meet or exceed the minimum requirements so is it really truthfull any big difference between a 2.79 and a 4.99 bottle, cus all it really is difference is a name making the price different.

Stick with M1 and get it from Wallyworld.  That way when you have warranty work, they can't blame you for using the wrong oil

i agree saving a 20 spot on something like oil just dont seem right.  unless its like my old ford truck with a 390 that when i filled up at the station it took an oil change at every tank of fuel, back then i would put USED oil in as it leaked out about as fast as i put it IN  LOL

Sweet!!! Thanks Deep!

I'm going to share the new Icon with my grandpa...who by the way says the oil should always be changed bi-weekly, and vegetable oil is fine to use because he once saw this guy who was doing that, and his car got 1.2 billion miles on the original engine!!

  Might be some help, I'm sure everyone has an opinion... everything you wanted to know about motor oil and synthetics.
