And with a bottle of oil sometimes costing more than a bottle of wine nowadays, I'd expect the former to taste better.

I saw some euro 2 cycle scooter oil that was strawberry flavoured.

Took the car out for a 250mi rt yesterday--mom wanted to go to Pala. Car averaged about 30mpg for the trip. PU 5w-40 does not feel buttery smooth like M1 0w-40. Definitely going back to M1.

...I have 7qts of PU 5w-40 left. doh!

For the thinner 30 oil, I liked PU 5w30 over M1 5w30.
For the thicker 40 oil, I liked M1 0w-40 over PU 5w-40.

Wait... I thought your initial post said that you liked PU better? Or did I misunderstand your elaborate similes?

I think I'm about as lost as you are. I guess in the end, I like M1 0w-40 most.
