Sorry to burst your balloon but a number of years ago I read an article in an automotive magazine regarding brand-name vs No-name oils. A taxi cab fleet in New York City was involved in the research test, they took delivery of 10 brand new cars (same brand, model, engines, etc.). Five used brand name oils and the other five used off-brands. After 300000 miles or so (all having regular maintenance, etc.) the engines were tore down and evaluated/measured for wear.

Myself, I'm one of those penny pinchers you mention and I drive two '87 vehicles, both of them over 240000 miles and they still run great with regular maintenance.
