I always seem to be in agreement with Rasmataz, this time is no exception. However with the quality of oil available today(from most parts houses) and the cost of the oil at the dealer, you can have the same thing for substantially less $$ at Pep Boys or O'Reilly auto parts, the petroleum engineers have told me its the same if it bears the same rating.
