Anyone know anything about the WalMart branded synthetic oil? Who makes it? Anyone here use it? Any experience long term with it?

It is priced about 30% lower than "Mobil 1" and it is doubtlessly manufactured by a big established oil company for WallyWorld, so I imagine it's good stuff. But...is it worth saving $6 per case of six to stray from the Gold Standard Mobil product?

By the way, I am not a big believer in synthetic for most engines. Sure, it's better, but when you can get 400,000 miles out of a "red engine" Volvo, or 2 valve BMW engine on dinosaur oil one has to question the real benefits of $4/qt oil under those circumstances. Given the "problems" known to the 4 valve DOHC Volvo, however, I DO believe it's worth it for our cars, and use it in my '96 965.
