    Wal-Mart oil no matter synthetic or conventional is a good choice! It is NOT made by Mobil or ever has been, it is made and bottled by Warren Performance Products look on the bottom of the bottle it will have WPP on the bottom.

    I run Supertech Synthetic in all my cars you can get a jug for 22 bucks or so.

    If you get conventional oil it is only about 14 bucks a jug, or about 2.50 a quart.

    It will be just fine for your car.

    They are all just fine. Buy the cheapest multigrade on sale. Most older cars leak a little bit from the crankshaft oil seal and this is not worth fixing. If it leaks a lot you may have a bad oilpan gasket or crossthreaded oil plug or something else. You can often save on oil by the case or in gallon containers. Watch the ads from Pep Boys, Auto Zone and similar chain stores.

    really the Walmart brand if just like the Mobil one brand if you look at the bottle it shows that its bottled by Mobil one. if the car leaks oil from the oil pan could be the gasket or the pan it self, if its at the engine then that could also be the gasket definitely get it checked out. especially if its a lot of oil. doing the oil your self can save a lot too. hope i helped
