Chief Oil

[supercity]

Chief Oil has turned up on the shelves at a local major retailer. I have never heard of it but they seem to be an established company. Since it's priced cheaper than the majors, should I use it? They have more "normal" grades to choose from too, like this 5w40 and 5w30, not just the usual 20w50 and 10w40 offerings we are usually subjected to.

I don't see it on pqia. Hopefully it's not re-branded bullseye

Give PQIA a call. I called and asked when they where going to do a full synthetic 5W20 comparison like they did with the 5W30 synthetic oils. They said it was in the works already. Very nice to talk to, self proclaimed "GearHead", my kind of a guy!!!

They are not registered with the API-EOLCS which after "65 years in supplying and producing lubricants" shows they aren't planning on selling in the USA and none of their oils are actually officially certified, they just say that they meet the specifications.

They have cool looking canteen bottles though....

Good to hear. I like to have good conversation with anyone I meet. Seems like conversation is a lost art with most people, but it's always nice to find those who enjoy talking to other human beings.
