I've used any number of oil brands and never really noticed any diff.
Oil threads are funny and are far less useful than tire threads,
though you do learn a lot, but I pretty much forget most things
anyway. As far as the BP boycott mentioned earlier, Castrol is owned
by BP, so if he is unhappy with how BP is handling the spill and wants
to quit purchasing their products, not purchasing Castrol products is
sound thinking, as boycotts go.
