That question has been asked dozens of times and has been answered hundreds of time with all sorts of different opinions. Search through the forum and enjoy. Personally, I prefer Bertolli 100% virgin olive oil, makes a hell of a fish fry. lol

The imported extra virgin olive oil normally makes some great eggs.

Watch out, your car might get the mange!

All kidding aside, its actually a decent product. I know their 5w20 synthetic blend is made by Amalie, at least. Not sure who they contract the rest of the oil out to.

Haha I was wondering if someone was going to catch that. I was just kidding, I use Valvoline semi-synthetic.

It's Valvoline full synthetic for me (under a house brand label, that is... about half the cost), and a little bit of Marvel Mystery Oil on the top.
That stuff kept my Impala running for 30k miles with cracked heads. Never skipped a beat!
