Notice Exxon lubes went away even though they were the bigger company - that side of the business went to those running it already. The research center is alive and well + BMT remains the main source for M1 etc …Brand loyalty is superstitious behavior at it’s very best. Brands aren’t even loyal to themselves.
Didn’t Exxon and Mobil merged in like ‘99? You know there was some diehard dudes back in early ‘90’s that were like “I would never buy that Exxon crap - it’s Mobil for life.” 10 yrs later it’s the same company.
I’m running through that stash and not finding more of it. Some things I have seen here recently was not clearance - they were pricing mistakesI only use what I find in the clearance section.
I did this many years ago when money was tight, bought whatever was cheapest. Still probably the best treated 2002 Kia Spectra on the road .Because I use whatever is cheapest, as long as it's decent oil with modern specs "oil's oil"
I use a similar approach with most things. I buy from companies which buy from my company (ie, help keep food on my table.) I’ve stopped using products simply due to how I’ve been treated as a vendor. It’s not always practical to do this with everything though.I use Shell products because they pay my pension. It's good Karma.
My buddy, a Kodak retiree, bought Fuji products because they were less expensive, and was pretty vocal about it. See how that worked out.
Frankly I lived in Japan for over three years and some of Fuji's film was better than Kodak. Even though Kodak was available in the PX for less!I use Shell products because they pay my pension. It's good Karma.
