With all of the different brands of motor oils out there, and opinions on this and that how can an average person decide on what is the best value oil for someone wanting to do ~6k mile OCI? I use a 5w-30 and have live in a location that sees hot summers and cold winters.
I could spend 100 hours reading complicated reports and watch Project Farm videos and others. I have been buying what ever is on sale in the Full Syn category and never had an engine failure in different cars for 40 yrs. I never noticed any difference. How can people say I try x or y and it did not work good in my engine? How are they judging it? I could just pay up for Ames Oil or can save $50 and buy the less expensive Walmart Supertec or Amazon Basics FS oils. Does it really matter in a practical sense? If it does matter, what is the best value on Full Syn oil? Does it have to be as complicated at it appears?
