2022 Results of "Post your latest oil change" thread

[Superbuick96]

For anyone who might be interested, I tallied up results of this thread throughout 2022 and finished it up this morning. The results are fairly accurate, but not exact, my eyes start crossing after awhile going through everyones submissions, but I enjoy seeing the results none the less! There seemed to me a lot more obscure oils used last year, as well as some decent love for HPL. Mobil as always is the preferred choice around here. It's interesting to see the trends in preference from year to year. Happy and Healthy New Year to all the BITOG members, make sure your oil catch cans are properly positioned in 2023

Wow I’m surprised to see Mobil take the lead this year. Thanks again for the yearly results.

Hasn't Mobil been #1 in this survey for several years?

I'm really pleased to see HPL on this list, and I'd expect its position to climb over time.

Maybe you’re right. I could have swore Pennzoil was but maybe I’m mistaken.

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken!

Good job once again. And not surprising once again…

Most people: the store brands are just as good as the name brands.

Also most people: buys name brands.

Great stuff, thanks!

Surprised Frankenbrews were so high on the list.

Thanks for the effort. I think this came up before on another thread but if Delvac is added to Mobil, then to be consistent Shell, Pennzoil, and Quaker State need to be added together, since Shell owns the other two. May I suggest you separate Delvac from Mobil and call it a day. Also, I suspect you tucked Shell Rotella under Shell.

Amazon basics hasn't made the list the last couple of years, maybe next year.
Royal purple was on the list last year but not this year.
Amsoil users have decreased a lot from last year.
Thanks for posting.

I disagree. Delvac is marketed under the Mobil brand whereas Shell, Pennzoil, and Quaker State are all separate brands. By your reasoning, shouldn't Havoline and Chevron be counted as one under Chevron-Texaco?

This man took a lot of his personal time to put this together for us free of charge and you got special requests. How about you do it and put it together the way you want it.

I thanked him for the effort and suggested an easy way to improve it, seeing he has the data tabulated. Are you his uncle?

Yes, it should. The elephant in the room is: Does Mobil really sell twice the amount of motor oils to Bittogers than Shell? The answer is no.

Totally correct since Mobil has raised the price to over $30 on their Mobil 1 they haven't sold me a ounce! A good thing I bought 9 Jugs last summer when it was $22 and change on rollback!
