January 16th, 2011 12:04 PM #141. For Oil:
a. Exxon Mobil1
b. Shell Helix
c. Petron Ultron
For Petrol:
a. Petron
b. Shell
c. Chevron / Caltex
2. For oil, I use Exxon Mobil 1 Fully Syn or Petron Ultron Race Fully Syn, because I mainly get a good deal for both. For petrol, I always use Petron XCS Plus or Xtra Unleaded because I have a fleet card with Petron.
3. Quality is 1st, of course I don't want just anything going into my cars, I want the best quality with the best price. Which leads me to Price is 2nd, especially with the increasing oil prices, where there is a good deal I'll give preference to that. 3rd is Location, oil and petrol are considered necessities for a car so I prefer locations that are along the way of my usual route for convenience. Last is service, because they're pretty simple to do so I really don't care as long as they do it right.

Most would prefer quality but then they have no measure for this. Most answers are "perception" rather than definite "quality control measures" or "standards". Claims of X "feels better" when used in my car cannot be a QC standard.
All the claims are of course based on the marketing crap dished out by the product advertisers. And perception rules more than actual quality of the product.
The only measure you can be sure of (albeit no means for QC) is on price.
(awww marketing na discussion)
