Please elaborate...I'm interested in this. I always hear people say how the store brands are "just as good as the name brands", and how its all just relabeled brand name oil. I never believed that, because from what I've seen from Supertech and Advance brand, it is complete garbage.

Yes it is. Its not USED oil by no means, but we put a percentage of "salvage" oil back into the good oil. Its is all of our left over brown oil that we didnt use mixed together. 5w30,10w40,15w40 etc etc etc. Its all mixed together and then a small percentage of that is mixed back in. We also do that with our transmission fluid to too, but its all of the left over tranny fluids not brown oil. Now im not sure if any other company's do this like RP or Mobil 1.

just because somthing is made by the same people that make another brand, never means it's the same. not arguing about the oil filters, i just use a wix or ac delco.

So basically you guys make all the generic oils?? It would make sense that Supertech/Advance/Autozone/ect are all the same crap, as opposed to them being rebadged brand name oil. Is there a reason that your company is never listed on the bottle as the manufacturer though?? I guess they don't want consumers to know who makes it??

for what it's worth, this is the way i see it with all oil/filters. ya got cheapo brands like autozone brand, valuecraft, quaker state, etc. that i wouldn't buy. then ya got midrange-high end, like ac-delco, wix, mobil 1, castrol, valvaline, etc. that do have their differences, but your generally splitting hairs. personally, i use castrol oil and a wix filter. that said, i would bet that if i had a beater honda i could use valuecraft oil/filter, change it every 3k, and never notice a problem caused by cheap oil or filter.

AC Delco and STP are also junk. The only well-priced one at Autozone that doesn't suck is Bosch.

Just get a Wix and call it a day.
Only good thing about Frams is that nice grip on the end of them. And I doubt anything about these new RP filters makes them worth what they are charging. As far as filters you get at Wal-Mart, hard to beat Motorcraft.
