If you are just going to change it every 5,000 miles, whatever is cheap and meets the spec is fine. Prices are dropping on synthetic oil and now it's reaching the $2.25 to $2.50 a quart price point for very good oil. Even name brand synthetic under $3/qt is getting easy to find.


IMO opinion, you hit the nail on the head, especially if you have a GDI engine...no sense waistline money on expensive oil!

Mobil-1 Vanilla, Pennzoil Platinum, Quaker State Ultimate, Valvoline Advanced, Castrol Magnatec and Edge, are not expensive oils.

My vehicles are worth an extra $10 twice a year, for brand-name synthetic oil. It sure beats spending that $10 on lottery tickets, casinos, card games, cigarettes, beer, fast food and even pot.

You don't frequent the UOA section do you...

Costco is the Warren product right? The contract manufacturer whose product hangs with absolutely every other oil?

The only reason I don't use it is because I don't want to exchange sheepish looks at the oil change place.

You desire to drive older vehicles and buy store brand name oils and waste that $10 on something else?...... go right ahead. No problemo' with me. Keep buying oils that meet the specs and I'lll keep paying $10 more for exceeding the specs.

Now go run along and buy that concert seat that's three rows closer to the stage for that $10 extra dollars. That's more important for folks that walk around with their head on backwards.
