Like most of you, I change my own oil. I’m a frugal guy so I’ll go to my local Autozone and buy one of the cheaper oils. Usually about $1.20 a quart. Not the cheapest but one notch up. I don’t understand what the difference is between the range of prices. They range from $1.00 (10w 30) a qt. on the low end to $2.50 (10w 30) a qt. on the higher end. I change my oil every 6,000 miles so I suppose the $1.20 oil is just effective as the $2.50 oil.

Is there really any difference in the quality of one oil brand to the next? Lets keep this simple and just focus on 10w 30 oil for this discussion.

I kind of look at oil as the same as over the counter drugs. If you go to the grocery store and look at the brand Pseudoephed and compare the ingredients to the grocery brand pseudoephed….it’s the same thing. Furthermore, most major brands sell their contents to the grocery chain and allow them to slap their name on the box. My point is that it’s the same product just different packaging. I bet the oil industry is very similar.

Do you think this is true for oil? Is there any difference??
