What are your "budget oils"

[Gene K]

Supertech Synthetic for $12 per 5 qt.

 

[blupupher]

Whatever I can find on sale/discount/clearance and is API rated for the vehicle it is going in.

 

[Samzone]

Chevron Supreme or Havoline Supreme (they may be the exact same oil, not 100% sure). Always cheap and never let me down. Shell would be my second option.

 

[HemiHawk]

budget for me has to be mobil 1 0w40 for my cali. the sump is 5 quarts exact with a filter change, so $22 for decent fluids for a decently powered turbo car is where its at.

 

[OilyWaterMIXER]

I think the term "budget oil" is misleading. Any kind of API SN oil should be wonderfully good. The only question is of grade, and perhaps concerns of oil composition for various reasons.

That said, my "budget" oil is whatever Supertech oil is around, and my name brand preference oils I tend to look online.

Aside from that deal, right now, Walmart Canada's regular price on PP is lower than that for QSUD, so which is really the budget oil?

 

[53' Stude]

Good point sir

 

[KD0AXS]

Whatever Auto Zone is clearing out at the end of the year.

 

[AIRJAC3]

QSGB or QSUD

[MetalSlug]

Havoline dino , every day low price at walmart. Or QSGB or Mobil 5000

Some you all mentions, Formula Shell from home depot for $10 , its every day price or its on sale price, is oil any good ?

 

[andrewp1998]

Supertech syn. easy to get and they are open till 12 am

 

[Red91]

I don't have one anymore. Whatever's on sale will fit the bill if it isn't getting Delo 400 30.

 

[53' Stude]

Red91: thought you were gonna say Delo 10w30

 

[Black_Thunder]

Formula Shell at menards before they dropped it.
now they have National oil which I would say is on par with it.

Supertech.

Resolute from Fleet farm.

and probably Napa oil when its on sale.

 

[JustinH]

Home depot raised its prices on the jugs of Formula Shell from 9.97 to 12.97.

Thats pretty much 30 percent.

Not really a huge bargain at that price.

 

[KevinP]

My favorite....

 

[The Critic]

Valvoline Maxlife syn-blend is my "budget oil."

Everything else gets Mobil 1 EP.
