My experience.....

Proper Viscosity changed at the recommended intervals or sooner trumps any particular brand.

Just a thought.......................

Trumps

"Trumps" is slang for "beats' or "defeats".
It comes from card games where one suit is declared "trump" and thereafter is more powerful than the other three.
