Overpriced as compared to what? M1 is and has been the cheapest at WM versus Pennzoil or Castrol. Better is subjective and you would not be able to prove that as a consumer unless you have several hundred thousand in disposable cash. Bottom line is that none of them--Castrol, Mobil, or Pennzoil are bad choices and to discern the differences between them for engine longevity is a near impossible task.
This. There is far more variability in engine lifespan due to the stack of manufacturing tolerances than there is between identically approved oils in the same grade from different manufacturers.
