These types of comments always crack me up.
I know there are a lot of miserly, cheap, penny pinching members here on BITOG....
But there's also a lot of guy who love their car, love talking about oils and lube, and who don't bat an eye at spending an extra $10-20 for an oil change. Oil is a hobby, a passion, and an interest on this forum.....so there's going to be a fair share of folks on here who want to splurge and play around with fancy oils and UOA's.
I'm actually surprised how many guys on here are focused on saving the most money on an oil change. It's a $30k vehicle.....why be so focused on saving $7 twice a year on a maintenance item?? Is this how you live your whole life??
I know this kills me, but you expect oil companies to do research and develop the best possible blend of additives etc....but yet the majority doesn't want to spend 20 bucks over 5l of oil. Then when companies develop oil additives, I'm not talking slick 50 type companies...you get the snarky remark....well you must know more than the oil companies, or if it was so good oil companies would already put it in their oils.
You actually have companies who come on here, 90% of the posts are about how and when to source oil as cheaply as possible, rebates etc etc. Ya, that's going to keep them motivated to spend all their resources. People spending 50 grand on vehicles, yet looking to spend .99 cents a litre on said high value vehicle.
And I know not everyone is flush with money to burn, so this is not aimed at you.
