    Motor oil in RED bottle with GREEN cap

    Yeah I thought maybe that one also but I don't see any images online with red bottle and green cap. The bottle is plain, no markings except the image in the plastic next to the cap that shows how to pour it, set in a cicle.

    Just bought this real cheap at Oriellys and they couldn't tell me who made it OR what weight. No stickers on bottle. So any idea who has a red bottle with green cap?

    Synthetic really worth it for my new 2013 Civic?

    A $25 synthetic used over 7,500 miles equates to .33 cents a mile (that's 25/7,500). 25 divided by 7500 = .003333... so how did you come up with .33?

    For all you who are HIGH on TGMO!

    The part where this oil may not even be TGMO. That was part of the reason for the analysis. Just in case, according to you and others, the data IS correct, I will just make a personal choice and avoid TGMO in the future. Do you think I can do that maybe? Any part of this YOU don't understand?
