EXXON OIL? Any good?

[OLAFF]

Last weekend, I was on a road trip when the oil level light came on... I pulled over at one of the Illinois Oasises, and checked the oil, found it to be 1qt low... so I went in the store and looked at the oil that they had, found out Mobil 1 which was way over prised and this Exxon stuff...

Since I am a 1000 mi from an oil change I didnt bother with the Mobil 1 so I just dropped in 1 qt of the EXXON, didnt notice differences but the oil got me wondering if it was any good, since this is the first time I have ever seen it in any stores.

They sell these at Pep Boys. It's good oil

It's got tiny bits of real tiger in it.

It's also what Honda bottles, and is a pretty common bulk oil. It's good for a reasonable OCI.

I think its as good as most other SM dino oils.

It's quality you can trust.

It's a decent dino oil.

The real question is how did a bitoger get caught on a road trip without an extra quart of oil in the trunk..

Thats what I was wondering, I had a bottle of Rotella with maybe few drops in it, and seeing it in the trunk I always though I had a quart when in reality I used it up at some point and never threw it away.

From now on I will be carrying 2 bottles for safety reasons...

That oil light spooks the living [censored] out of me...

They sell that stuff at AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc.

I've used it a couple of times in cars I maintain with no issues. I scooped up on it when it was $1/quart.

To my surprise it has a lot of certifications like the GM ones, no something I see on most other bottles.

Seems to be a decent oil but I doubt I will use it again... sticking to my Mobil/Rotella mix.

Looks the same as our Esso oils.....

As I recall, there was also a "full synthetic" Superflow offering.
There may still be. It came in a gold-colored bottle.
We had a now out of business regional discount chain that stocked it. I bought and used it, and while I don't remeber what it cost, it must have been fairly inexpensive.
