So you are saying that the cheap store oil at Advanced Auto is still SJ and
not SM?
I cant imagine finding any leftover pre SM oil in a major chain but that would
be great news. I have an Advanced Auto 12 miles from me and they have VR1 for
$3.18/qt which is good enough but store brand is cheaper :-) (providing it is
also quality oil)

Hey Ray, I've read that the moly in the cam lubes interfere in the
long term with zddp and that too much zddp causes oxidation.
I go back to my original claim of just using cheap oil. If you look
at a container of Advanced Auto brand oil it says they meet the older
SJ API standard and not the newer SM class of oils.
