I use Walmart Supertech Synthetic in mine, its only like 12-15$ for 5 quarts.
I heard their oil was supplied by 2 companies, but I cant remember which brands of oil they were...

Why TY! Nope, motors never been rebuilt. Its quite a few highway miles.
Don't get me wrong, the motor could use an overhaul, but its not needed.
It has a few leaky seals (like the front main), but it still fires right up in the morning
and runs amazingly great. I want to make it to 500,000 before i have to tear into it.
It says alot about putting good fluids in your car, and doing it yourself so you know its done right.
1911A1... make us proud and change your own oil. (with good oil)

go ahead and take your car to walmart for an oil change.
then see how fast the engine will lock up.
or the car bursts into flames.
or they forget to put oil in it period.
change the oil your self *****!

I oil up the o ring on my filter but have never put oil in the filter before mounting it, sounds like a mess waiting to happen.

A buddy had his oil changed at that place and they forgot to put the oil filter on. Lets just say his car didnt make it too far. Walmart paid for his car but on older cars blue book value doesnt mean much.
