The link on the email reply to my question doesn.t work.
Need to know if this Penzoil is worth the extra 17.00 I am spending on oil changes. The engine uses approx half a quart between 3000 oil changes.

thanks

Tom

The high mile oil is a step up from the average oil, so you should expect to spend more for it. As for value, I can tell you a fully synthetic oil such as Mobil 1 is worth the extra money. I can also tell you that using these oils in a worn engine is not going to correct any problems or prevent further damage.
