change it every 3000 miles and it wouldn't make a difference.

that statement i know is over kill. but so is the topic of oil.
what to use,when to change it, how much is my engine burning if any.

ok i'm off my soapbox.sorry to ramble

I wouldn’t take that bet because you're right! Old school, but good school and still followed to the tee by many a mechanic on their own vehicles with basic dino.

I think the ad-pack is as, or more important than the base-stock in many cases. You need good base-stock, but the ad-pack is what makes many oils good for what they are good for (Shell Rotella T for flat tappet, etc. etc.)

Wal Mart Super Tech is a highly rated oil.
