Of the oils that will be certified with this spec, assuming 90% of daily drivers in the US (nothing exotic), assuming normal to conservative OCI's, is there any reason other than price to choose one brand over another?
My example: I really like Valvoline Full Syn w/Ml. However, a recent thread on here concluded that it had a substantially lower quality base oil than Mobil 1 and Pennzoil synthetics. If my VFSML is Dexos 1 Gen 2, then it will keep my engine as clean and protected as it would ever need to be and within ridiculously small differences as compared to M1 PP, etc..
Correct?
