Havoline Syn $3, MC $2.19, Formula Shell $1.79

[Gene K]

After looking it seems the best local deals without depending on Rebates or Sale price is Formula Shell for S1.79 (Fred's), Motor Craft Synthetic Blend $2.37 (WalMart) and Havoline Synthetic $3.00 (Big Lots). All are available in 5w-20, 5w30, and 10w30 for the same price.

What everyones opinion for 3500 - 6000 mi Changes (6 month OCI). 50% City / 50% Highway. 1.6L DOHC (Hyundai) with 3.5 Qt Capacity. Going to try the Havoline TFC-21 (Purolator Premium Plus) for $2.19 for an oil filter. If I have any startup noise I will try a different filter. Warranty requires new filter every 6 months or I would just use Pure 1 changed every other OCI.

Im leaning towards the Havoline Synthetic for an extra $4.24 an OCI. I dont think its really needed but it kind of gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

Gene, use the walmart supertech filter it costs more so it must be better.

I like the SuperTech filters. I use them on both cars I currently maintain

I also have a bunch of other brands in my stash but those are what I currently use.
