Hey guys, as most of you know wal-mart has stopped carrying motorcraft. I've always used motorcraft oil and filters so now I'm looking at what other oil I can get there. I had really planned on staying with regular non-synthetic oil but maybe I'll switch over. Here's my options
Formula Shell $1.22
Valvoline $1.97
Penzoil $1.97
Mobile 5000 (non-synthetic) $1.68
Mobile 7500 (blend) $2.18
Mobile 1 (synthetic) $4.88 (if bought in large container $4.00 a qt)
So I know mobile 1 synthetic is pretty much the best but I like to change every 3K and keep fresh oil in there. So I was planning on not going with a synthetic oil. So does anyone have any other concrete oil analyis studies for the other brands? Is there much of an advantage to the synthetic blend? Any input appreciated.
