I have searched before I am posting this question about oil.....I promise.
I already purchased some oil before reading about Rotella. I just want to see if what I have is bad enough to return since I haven't opened it yet. I also researched online adn couldn't find significant enough info about this product. I paid $3.98 per quart at Walmart.
Here is the link to see exactly what I bought:

Should I return this product or use it until I am out? I am picking up some redline today. Should I mix a little of that in? And how much? Thanks for any help!
