I can't recall the name of the channel but there is a super geek on YT that covers everything you need to know. Ran a multi year test and recorded it all.

One of the big things he showed was brand does not matter. As long as you are getting the same grade oils the Walmart brand is as good as Mobile 1.


Its the motor oil geek. Its very interesting. The main thing is change in timely fashion but there is absolutely a difference in motor oils from brand to brand and also type.

For instance Mobil1 has an oil called advanced fuel economy and valvoline has restore and protect. obvioulsy the chemistry is dillferent as they are designed for different applications.

I used to run mobile 1, but now I do Amsoil. I've seen a noticeable difference after using Amsoil. I still consider Mobile 1 a good oil, but Amsoil is the best there is imo.

I agree. Their signature series top quality it’s just high as pterodactyl titties. Even with preferred customer program. But if you don’t mind the money it’s great
