    STORE BRAND OIL/FILTER MYTHS...STILL GOOD OIL?

    I keep hearing, “don’t buy the store brand, it’s recycled, or its junk oil”. In fact, let’s think a bit more about this. The people that say this crap need to think before they speak! I’ve heard so many people say that the store brand is just bad oil. First off, stores like AutoZone, Advance...
