        Hi Guys,

                  The local auto supply joint has “Peak” brand oil at a reasonable price and was wonderin if any of you guys have checked it out or if it is crap. Heard rumors years ago that there is only a few refineries for auto engine oil so they are a lot of brands that are the same, different labels.  True?  Dunno.  Thanks in advance. Fido

        Code 347 CLDTI

          Well, it's probably not “crap” as it meets ( but does not say “exceeds”) API and SAE standards. Their 15w40 oil seems adequate but I wouldn't consider it a top tier product. Doesn't say what base stocks are used, nor any real indication of the quality of additive packages.

          Actually, there are a lot of independent refineries that produce motor, hydraulic, and gear oils.

            There is more to oil than meets the eye. It's always best to make an informed decision when chosing lubricants.

            Maybe you've already read this.
