AGIP motor oils?

[stubbakatt]

Does anyone know if the AGIP Super XL motor oils are any good? Of course, they're GF-4 and SM, but what about additive packages? My local Wawa carries this line of oils and they seem to be blended in Pennsylvania (according to their website), but I haven't seen any more information. Thanks

Don't know much about the stuff made in PA, or who even makes it for them. The synthetics made in Italy are pretty good.

AGIP is the oil they use to put in my car when I took it to the local tire shop for an oil change. They put an AGIP oil change sticker on the windshield so I assume that is what they used.

I've heard it is a very good oil. Popular in Europe supposedly.

The Italian racing oils are very expensive. The group III synths are reasonable enough. They do seem to be mostly a commercial supplier, much like Schaeffer's. My local tire/repair shop has it as a "house oil" (visions of a restaurant's "house wine").

I've used their 5w-40 PC synth. You can order oil on line from them.

They're not a gyp even though the name implies that they are.

Thanks for the info. At $3.75 (!) for a quart of dino, I probably won't be using it any time soon
