What is considered 'name brand' oil?

i have heard from several indys that comma is their prefrered oil. A freind of the family told my dad that it was as good as magnatec for less cash

My impression of Comma is "semi-premium" Premium being Mobil, Millers and Castrol.... Mike

Independant garages usually buy bulk oil from the oil company that offers the "best" deal for them. Price, advertising signage etc. Firm I worked for used Valvoline Oils, they offer the best deal to the company. Odd oils came from a motor factor invariably Comma. Pookie

Millers and Comma seem to offer as good a quality oil as the big boys but at a lower price. I have used both in various cars over the last few years and have been very happy with it.

If the oils changed regulaly, say every 6000 miles I think a cheaper non premium oil would be just as good as an expensive oil aslong as it met all the right standards. Ive heard good things about comma. Car Mechanics rave about the stuff, although comma do sponsor them!
