Get to the point...
At one point after hours and hours and this website, I picked my oil and filter combo's and that is what I stuck with. Things have changed a little bit, and I don't have extra cash burning a hole in my pocket to spend on high end Amsoil anymore, and have started shopping name brands at the local store.
One thing that I have noticed is that they keep releasing "new" oils. Castrol Syntec, or Edge, or Edge with Syntec or whatever their marketing department has going on is pretty confusion. Pennzoil Platinum is now Platinum PurePlus, Ultra is Ultra Platinum, all of the QuakerState bottles look the same, and so on.
Where do all of these oils stand these days? who is the top dog of WalMart? When I ask this, I am looking for who's specs are considered to be the best? are they all capable of extended oci? Price seems to range from about $18-30 for jug which makes me ignore the cost. A $30 jug is still less than my old SS Amsoil
Formulas would be a 0w(or)5w20 Syn as well as a 0w(or)5w30 Syn.

M1
M1EP
QSUD

Edge Extended

Just trying to make sure I'm making good choices.
Thanks
Unfortunately you don't have any cars that need M1 0w40.
That's the current darling around here.
You should sell all of your cars and buy one that needs M1 0w40. I think the Chrysler Hellcat would be good for that.
The misses has an '08 Beetle which uses 5w40 which I'm sure the M1 0w40 would be great, but it currently has T6 in it. Maybe next time around.
