Have they got it back in? It was there about a year ago but haven't seen it since. At that time, I talked to the store manager and he said Pennzoil. I used it in a sueprcharged Miata I had at the time and then sent off the analysis to Blackstone. Very good results, basically comprable to Mobil 1 or any other high quality synthetic. I bought a couple of cases at the time for my Accord and 4Runner. Since I change way ahead of the DIC timer, I wouldn't hesitate to use it in the Vette, just not sure if it will always be available and I don't like to change brands after the first few oil changes. BTW, just because Pennzoil may have made it last year, doesn't mean they are this year, that's the problem with wally world, low bidder wins but the packaging remains the same. If you buy it, buy enough to get you through 100,000 miles so you are always putting in the same brand. Guess I'll drive up tonight and see if our locals are carrying it again.

I'm not telling you what to buy, but usually you get what you pay for,right?
So, be smart and buy the Mobil-1 oil; how much is the difference? $7 or 8
respectively?
Cutting corners almost always never pays.
