In the comparison I saw, it was listed above Mobil 1, so that made a point
with me. My MIL used to put that stuff in her Corrola, but then, she
probably went by the recommendation of a salesman. She wouldn't have known
the difference between Castrol and used drainings.

Where I lived at the time there wasn't anything like Pep Boys. Western
Auto was as close as one could find in that time. Heh, they carried
Schwinn bicycles too.
