ESSO OIL

[Indy]

Has anyone use Esso motor oil or heard of any problems of their products as in quality issues or is it a myth that i just learned today like for example of sludge build up and low quality of cheap products on shelves.I think its a great oil but i heard other wise when i was at a gas station looking at the prices of Esso 10w30 conventional.Your thoughts please

Welcome! If you use the search function you'll find ESSO products are very highly regarded here. Especially XD-3 Heavy Duty Engine Oil, one of the finest oils available in Canada. XD-3 is generally much less expensive than other premium synthetics as well.

BennyL that sounds like a plan to me your right.Im going to try and get in there one time this weekend but im in no rush just yet.My next oil change is next month and i just found out my brother has it in drums at his shop and i thought all this time he had valvoline jeeeeez!!!!Not against valvoline as i used it for years and a great oil at that..I will talk to my brother where he bought his stock from.He did my oil change a few times and he switched to Esso as it was cheaper he said.He did have valvoline for a great period of time and he told me the other day what i thought about Esso and BAM it hit the nail on the head and i told him my story about someone bad mouthing Esso brands and dont trust it etc. so yes he just laughed.
