As long as it's TCW-3 certified, it'll be fine.

A lot of us (me included) get the ~$6/gal jugs of oil at Walmart.

I use the stuff on the left and it works fine for me. But i still use my omp, i just premix to help lube things. i bought the little bottle that you have and also got a big jug of it and i just fill up the little one about every 2 weeks or so. you cant beat wallmarts price for it thats for sure.

I used to use the Pennzoil mix but found it more prone to smoking then most other types.

Now i use Motul 100% synthetic ester premix.

I don't recommend the Pennzoil mix either because it falls out of suspension if the car sits still (parked) for several days. When I premix I add the oil first and then fill the tank up with fuel. I drive my car typically on weekends only and it would smoke a lot on startup until I got the car moving and sloshed the fuel around. Using the cheap Walmart 2 stroke, I NEVER had this problem.

my car is only a weekend driver so it gets used maybe once a week and if the weather is bad it ussually wont move for like two weeks so the walmart brand is still good for that type of use?
