Had about 20 quarts I guess. LOW priced stuff, no one would touch it. He picked it up & set it in a back corner for about 6 months,Hauled it out, dusted it off, jacked the price up & it sold out in a month...
People have been told " You get what you pay for" until they believe it.
Truth is, you'll pay for what you get, & then some.
I wasnt trying to say anything about the tested & proven high priced stuff. Im just saying that a low price, lower than normal, indicates a low quality. A high price? We Hope we are getting what we pay for, but we might be buying a low quality product with the price of a high quality product.
The reason I dont run a pricier oil is twofold. Mine leaks some, at the clutch actuator/ side cover o-ring & I think the Rotella-T 15/40 is providing sufficient protection to keep the engine/tranny happy & healthy for enough years that I wont care if its still running.
