I see some people talk about pennzoil, but I haven't seen so much about quaker state and havoline. Are these oils about even or is there a difference? I saw an old uoa where it looked like havoline had a lot of moly.

All SM or even SL oils are fantastic. It is important to use the thinnest possible oil. If your climate is getting cold, use a synthetic or semi-synth with excellent cold properties. QS and Havoline are excellent oils. So is SuperTech, and Motor Craft.
Any oil on sale is the best oil, do not use a thicker oil than necessary, and if possible study the cold viscosity properties on the web site. 90% of engine wear occurs during the start up/ warming up period.

sa? sb? you're kidding, right? I wouldn't use them in my lawn mower. The question was implying whether regular name oils work as well as Mobil, or higher priced.
I've used the new Havoline 3 times in my car and it's performed great, I'd gladly use it again in a heartbeat.

People who dont kow any better buy these oils to save a few bucks... When they blowup/sludge up their engines, they blame the manufacturer/mechanic/etc...Then they buy another car..
Its the circle of life....

How are any of the listed oils (QS,Havoline, etc), known as cheap oils?
Where I shop, all the big names are $1-$3 apart for the 5 quart jugs.
