If (1) I actually put 25,000 highway miles on my vehicle per year, and (2) drive a mechanically sound vehicle that is proven to not be hard on oil, then I would be all over Amsoil Signature Series. I could save money and it would be a value to me. But since the (2)two criteria outlined above does not apply to my driving habits and/or vehicle condition, then, oil sourced from the big box store on sale and with mail-in-rebate is the better value for me.
Doesn't have to be all highway, and your personal standards for "mechanically sound" could be different than mine. In an oil burner for example, it would be foolish to put anything but the least expensive decent oil in it. If your vehicle doesn't burn oil and were up for it you could always give it a try, do a UOA or two along the way, and see how far it could go.
