"If you needed a blood transfusion, would you go to a hospital or kill a hobo and drink their blood?"
Why would someone who changes their own oil buy the cheapest stuff they can get? They're not poor by any means. I just can't understand.

What car, and what oil?
Most cars run just fine on cheap store brand SN 5w20/30, 5000 mile oil changes

It was Peak going into 2004ish Dodge Ram 1500. I just found this site. http://www.pqiamerica.com/samplesummaryP…
Doesn't actually seem that bad from what I can decipher. Damn and blast! Maybe to harsh of an analogy on my part, lol.

BITOG is awesome
Most "conventional/dino" is now actually synthetic blend, since the SN standard is fairly stringent.
A non-SRT gas pickup just doesn't need Pennzoil Ultra or Castrol TWS

It depends on the car. My mk3 jetta was basically meant to run with cooking oil in the engine. I just buy whatever name brand is on sale to match the "cheap" brand (meijer brand oil.....*shudder*). I just make sure I get the right weight and a new filter.

Yeah but my parents run a shop. We get it pretty much wholesale if we buy it in bulk from NAPA.

With all the oil wells here, I just put a bucket down and catch the drippings. Seriously, Mobil 1 for me.

Because clean cheap oil is significantly better for a motor than dirty expensive oil - a lesson I learned from my former Air Force mechanic grandpa. Unless you have something exotic, buy cheap oil then change it more frequently. It's not like the cheap Shell oil doesn't come from the same factory as the more expensive Quaker State...
