    Does anyone use SPECTRUM OIL from Sears/Kmart???

    I bought (3) 5 qt jugs of the 5W-30 conventional back in November for about $27. I am currently running it in my 98 Corolla that has just under 195,000 miles on it. No problems with it whatsoever and I would not hesitate to use it again. Been running it for 5K OCI's.

    Castrol Edge 500,000 mile 15 year warranty

    There is one difference between the Castrol warranty and the Pennzoil warranty. Castrol will allow you to have up to 100,000 miles on the vehicle if it's less than 6 years old. Pennzoil only allows you 60,000.
