Motor Oil 10W-30-100% Synthetic - API SN GF-5 Licensed - Extended Drain Intervals - Also See 1 Quart & 55 Gallon Drum Sizes - 5 Gallon Bucket - Pail

I have to say, I've used all types of synthetic oils on special (From Costco, Pepboys, Napa or O'reilly's) in my 1999 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC engine. They all were good quality oils (i.e. MobilOne High Mileage, Penzoil Advanced Synthetic, Valvoline...and heck even some of the store brand synthetic oils were good!), and had no problems using it in my daily beater with 199,600 miles! I just did my 5000 miles oil change this morning with the Texas Tea 10W-30 Full Synthetic, and a PL30001 Purolator PureOne Oil Filter (I've always used Purolators!) I have to say...there was some noticeable differences when I fired her up. The engine seemed to be quieter, and when accelerating, it did feel a tad bit smoother. I think it's a quality oil, but I have to wait to see how this goes until my next OCI. I plan on keeping this oil in for 7500 miles and see if it really stands up to the extended drain intervals.**Update to original posting with recent oil change: Okay so since I last did my Oil Change in February of 2012, I recently changed my oil out in late Septmber 2012. At that point, I barely registered 6000 miles on the oil with a Purolator Pure One Oil Filter. Oil came out a dark amber color, not a chocolate syrup brown color or viscosity. Oil wasn't foamy or sludgy, it still flowed very well like out of the bottle. MY gut feeling was that I could have easily gone to the 7500 mile mark for OCI and this oil would still be good. But 7 months in, and barely 6000 miles on the oil, I felt it was time for an oil change. This oil is the real deal. It is a very good oil.

If you are reading this than maybe you are as curious as I was. I stumbled across this page as I was trying to find a cheaper synthetic oil. With the cost of everything going up, it's always good to save money where you can. Why not start with oil? Texas Tea offers numorious weights and based on the reviews, they all seems to be worth their weight. (no pun) I recently purchased 6 quarts of 10w-30. As a Amazon Prime member I received my order promptly. (two days) The box these ship in fits perfectly 6, 1 quart bottles. To my suprise there many different texts on the bottle. Texas Tea is proud to let you know that 1 percent of all profits goes to charity. The bottle also makes a reference to the movie "Fletch" by saying "it's all ball bearings" as well.The oil caps on the bottles DO NOT completly come off, so you will have to work around the small inconvenience of that. The bottles do pour well. My truck holds 6 quarts exactly which is convenient. The oil seems to be of high quality which is the most important concern of mine.I believe having the choice of supporting the little guy is what makes Amazon so great. I could buy big oil's brands at the autopart store or I can come to Amazon and purchase what I want at a discounted price.

I bought two 5 gallon pails of this stuff almost a year ago. They have been in my garage waiting until I cycled through my current stock of Mobil 1 synthetic. Well today was that day. I changed the oil on my 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD with this stuff and I immediately noticed the truck runs much quieter. It looks to be a great oil but I am not happy that the price has gone up almost 20% since I bought it. Prices for crude have plummeted in world markets why is this going up? I am happy with the product so far but I wish they would bring the price back down to the previous levels.

I found this oil about a year ago. I love that it's a good price and it ship free thanks to Amazon Prime. I change my oil and it comes out nice and dark just like it should. If the oil is doing it's job it should come out dirty not clean and this oil does each and every time. It still have a good viscosity to it when I change it and it isn't foamy. The earth friendly stuff is they do is nice but all I really want is a good oil and this stuff is it.

when i got texas tea motor oil write away i did a oil change so far i love it makes my truck run smoother,quieter,cooler,now i got to wait to do anoyher oil,and that woun't be for a long time from now.

Seems ok I have been a royal purple fan for years can't beat the price.
