Depends, though. Advanced Auto Parts sells Mobil Clean 7500 semi-synthetic for $.95 per quart (buy online pickup @ local store).

When an oil manufacturer sells a "semi-synthetic" or a "blended" product, how do you know how much "synthetic" is blended into the product......10%, 20%, 50%, etc. ??????

Isn't kind of like orange juice made from concentrate? How much water is added to the concentrate to create the quart of juice???

I'm a big fan of Royal Purple. My dad uses it in his HHR and I use it in my SAAB. It helps with low end power and fuel economy. Check it out

Yet another useless oil thread, although hillbilly's "Scamsoil" comment did make me chuckle a little...
