While looking in the U.O.A. section, there are not too many anaylsis with Walmart's conventional oil. Opinions are mixed on the oil. Is Mobil Drive Clean worth the extra .25/quart compared to Tech 2000 if you change the oil every 3,000 miles.
It seems the biggest complaint I have seen is that the oil thins, but just about every over the counter conventional oil at Wal-Mart does the same thing....so I'm not sure that's a good complaint.
I drive 36,000 miles a year....so I change the oil once a month. It would cost me less than $5/per oil change (Nissan Sentra, 2.9 qt. sump with $1.97 Supertech oil filter). I'm not interested in using synthetics....just keeping the costs as low as possible.
Would I ever see a difference over the life of the car (hopefully 200K+) using Tech2000 compared to Drive Clean every 3000 miles?
