My very own oil question..(NOT dyno vs. Syn)

From everything I have read of the past….whatever…..basically as long as you are going with a quality oil that meets the MNAO standards there is no appreciable difference, just pick your favorite brand. Sound about right?

EVERYONE has a favorite of their own oil so yes pick one and go with it... it is like wax and polish or even like dino or synthetic.

Thats all i am asking, not which brand, not which style. Just that it really doesn't matter as long as it is an oil of good quality that meets or exceeds specified standards.

You're so fired, you're re-hired.

I think it's safe to say that most owners will eventually dispose of their cars for reasons other than lubrication failure as long as they follow the maintenance schedule.
