Gave Up On Valvoline - Havoline?

[johnnydc]

I was feeling the same about the buy out to Aramco. But then I thought, Valvoline is still produced here in the USA by fellow American blue collar employees. So why not keep on keepin' on. If the quality starts to take a turn for the worst, then I might have to switch.

Frankly if it still has the API sticker on it you have very little to worry about. Today at Wally World I saw they had Havoline 10W-30 marked down to $22 and change for the 6 quart smartbox.

I think Supertech is still Warren Oil.. they may be made in Arkansas, there apparently are several Warren Oils.

Highline Warren to be specific. They makes lots of things.

This is an excellent strategy, especially when switching to a winter weight oil. Brrrrr

Holley Frontier makes Petrocanada lubricants in Canada as well. Shell also packages lubricants for Canadian Tire. There is also a company in Quebec ( is it really part of Canada?), that packages motor oil for Napa Canada.

Yup, I just did an oil change with the Motomaster Oeplus oil for my summer towing, I trust their stuff

I’m giving up on Valvoline since it sold to off-shore company.

I had a bad experience with one of their quick lube places. I also don't like their customer service. Last, they play the marketing game too much. The latest is there 24x better protection against water contamination. They're last on my list among the majors.

My Fords have always gotten Motorcraft oil and filters. My GMs have gotten Valvoline oil and AC Delco filters and my one Chrysler got Valvoline oil and Mopar filters. That formula along with a strict 5000 mile OCI has helped every one of my engines live happily into the high 100k mile range or into the 200's before I got rid of the vehicle and I'm gonna stick with it. I have no idea where any of the above oils or fimters are made, nor do I care.
If you've got a formula that's gotten you great results, why fool with it?
