LOL! You are correct. Most of the time, the higher price on off the shelf oils is spent on race cars, truck jamboree concerts, marketing and other stuff. It costs a lot of money to run spots during a Nascar event or the Super Bowl. Find a brand you are comfortable with at the best price you can.
What brand of oil do you run?

Delvac now. Used to be A Rotella guy but I too found it didn't seem to hold up as well in my previous truck as Delvac. I also found my truck ran hotter with Rotella than Delvac.
