What many do believe is that blenders blend a range oils of differing characteristics and qualities. The cheaper oils sold under generic names alongside lettuces, ladies underwear etc. are blended cheaply and using lower quality stocks.


There is nothing wrong with paying for quality regardless of the level of benefit in a particular application.
Absolutely correct. The problem comes with the definition of "quality". Mobil 1, in particular, is bested by many lower priced oils in long term used oil analyses, and in "virgin oil" shear testing. Pay for "quality" based on knowledge supported by research. The vast majority of buyers are little more than an advertising executive's wet dream.
