I know there has been talk about cheap gas station API SA oil and now it is not ok for any newer engine.
Well, I was in the gas station the other day getting some money out of their ATM, and it just happened to be next to the oil. They had 5w30, 10w30, and 10w40, all of which Meets SB oil certification. I didn't care enough to see what "improvements" have been made from SA to SB lol, but I'm pretty sure this oil is still horrible to use in any car.
Though I'm not surprised to see this stuff, I just kinda figured it would be a bottle of 10w40 or SAE 30 and was impressed to see that someone is making a "newer" 5w30 oil that is SB rated. Good stuff.
BTW, the stuff was City Star (Star Petroleum Detroit, MI http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=frk&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Star+Petroleum+detroit,+mi&fb=1&gl=us&hq=Star+Petroleum&hnear=Detroit,+MI&cid=15521603994798131571) and the other was Accell.
And of course, there is no real warning to consumers that they shouldn't buy it lol...
