What do you think of Walmart synthetic oil?
Do we know who makes it? I usually use Mobil 1 or Castrol, but seems that Walmart oil could not be that bad... For $17 for 5 quarts, hard to beat.

Advance auto had a special last week - 5 quarts of Mobil 1 and a Mobil 1 filter for $29.99. Sounds like a good deal until you buy the two additional quarts you need at nearly $8 each.

Mobile 1-10w30 is $32 and change for a 6 pack at the price club/costco. Been using it for 10 years in an S-320 and SL-320. Neither use any oil between 5000 mile changes. I get my filters from Phil on this site.

As i recall the Walmart brand is Super Tech, and is currently manufactured by Pennsoil or Quaker State. As for the specs, I assume you're talking about the API. At any rate, any oil that meets or exceeds the API would be OK to use.
