i run penzoil SRT oil thats formulated for the 392 challengers and hellcats that tend to get the poop ran out of them. I have cases sitting on the shelf for my challenger so no need to buy a different oil for my atvs and sxs. Ive used it in everything. I figure if mopar says its the only oil to use in a hellcat it should stand up to any abuse. Polaris just buys oil from one of the oil producers and has them bottle it in there blue bottles. Most likely it changes year to year to the cheapest bid they get. They know oil failure today is rare even with cheap oil.
 
lube tech may make alot of the different brands of oil but there all formulated differently. I once bought a couple jugs of lube tech branded oil at walmart. It was half what the other pure synthetics. Had a 06 silverado then. It didnt use oil. I put that oil in it and checked it at 2k and it was down almost 2 quarts. So i changed it again using the other jug i bought. Same thing happened again. I thought the motor was going south. But to make sure i bought a jug of mobil one same weight and it went 5k and was barely off the full mark. Dont really understand why but i would never use that oil again.
