oil posts are almost as bad as political posts for getting peoples opinions.
as mentioned before not all oils are the same just like not all batteries are the same just because they were made by the same company.
> a prime example: the Lincoln town cars were way better than Pintos... NO! how could that be?? they're both made by Ford!!! same goes for oil, batteries and a host of other things. Its not the brand on the bottle, it how the oil in the bottle was made. many of the major oil companies also sell different versions/levels of quality of their oils as well.
TO REALLY know if the oil is any good you need to look at the spec sheet. For example what is the TBD #? the higher the number the better the oils additive packages. get the spec sheets from a couple different oils and compare. then you'll know which is a better oil.
Just because it meets the API spec doesn't mean its the "best oil" just means its meets the minimum requirements of the spec and means NOTHING more. Is that spec good enough for your engine?? maybe, maybe not.. there are many oils out there that exceed the API specs. I've suspected the specs could be set low enough (??) to get the car/truck/tractor just out of warranty. price doesnt always mean better but the better additives do cost more.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
