See that O'Reillys has AC Delco motor oil in 5w30 on clearance for $3.99 down from $6.79.
Anything special about this oil? Website says its a synth-blend.

AC Delco 5w30 Oil - Any good?

Smitty's super-S is on sale @ Kmart for $1.99.
Smitty's is usually my go-to oil, for the price.
I see the Delco has 'Dexos' specs.....but my old 1996 GMC doesn't require it.

This oil is presumably labeled with the dexos 1 logo.
Dexos 1 is barely a spit of a wad upwind beyond API SN, so I'm not sure that matters.
It's not as though GM would sell anything less than a top quality product under one of their brand labels.
Well, most of the time, but the bad stuff was all "old GM", right?
Four bucks a quart is not a good deal on a blend oil that's probably nothing special, unless you really prefer quarts to jugs.

It's made by ExxonMobil, $3.99 is no bargain for a blend though.

$3.99 isn't a bargain , just a solid price.
If there isn't a splashy advertising campaign how will the general public know if it's any good, or not? This is especially true if it's not on a NASCAR banner. Everyone knows that the best oil has the best advertising and appears on the best race cars.

Based on the PQIA numbers, I'd say the exact opposite!
For a syn blend, that looks like an excellent Turbo/DI oil for standard (~5k) OCI's.
