walmart oil & filters

[lee]

A while back I remember a thread on oil and oil filters and a few folks spoke of using Walmart brands.

Disclaimers:
1. My wife is a Walmart employee, so....
2. I use Mobil 1 10W-30 & the Walmart SuperTech filter.

Don't know who makes Walmart conventional dino oil. The Walmart SuperTech synthetic oil is repackaged Quaker State, not as good as Mobil 1 (IMHO), especially since they started carrying 5Qt jugs of M1 for $17.88. Please note, not trying to start a Redline vs Amsoil, vs M1, vs...thread here. However, if you're a Quaker State fan...

Their filter is made by Champion, and that is a pretty good recommendation. Hard to pin Champion down, but it may be the same as the Bosch filter. Mobil 1's filter is also by Champion, but uses a different filter material (a synthetic cellulose I think).
