Stay with what works best for you.
Why change ?
Why change ?
My thought exactly. even within the same API rating there are changes in formulation, so I really see no reason you have to stay with the same oil. Look at the recent deal with the Katrina Mobil deal, same brand oil, but not the exact same oil.quote:

That's just plain silly. All oil brands change from time to time. The blending varies with the availibility of blending stocks which is based on the availability of the tyupe of crude oil. The blending also varies as the additive packages change to keep up with the latest API specs.quote:
