Similarly, my son told me that the COVID vaccine has a microchip in it so the government will be able to track us and control our brains even more than they already do. Not going to do that one either. Whew.

But the prices for oil and gas are driven by Wall Street and Hedge Funds, not really demand. They will keep the oil in tankers until they can unload and get a better price. The higher prices will also induce more production. Prices will go up and prices will go down from the supply / demand imbalance.

Kirkland brand meets or exceeds all the industry standards that would make it decent. Most people should do as you suggested and focus mainly on sticking to proper intervals, but their choice of oil being Kirkland won't make their "engine fall off," which I'm guessing you mean to seize-up, leak, or generally malfunction.
But yes, most brand name oil is probably ok for most cars so long as you maintain and drive them properly and change the oil and filter regularly and they're in decent condition. It's mostly folks who drive performance cars and/or under extreme conditions and/or don't maintain them well and/or whose cars are in so-so shape who probably benefit from higher-end oil. I treat and maintain my car well but it's a performance car so I'm willing to spend a few bucks more. Most folks don't need to.
That said, does anyone have hard numbers that show that ultra is meaningfully better, and if so for what kinds of cars and under what kinds of conditions? If at all, I bet it's for Vettes, Porsches and the like, driven to their limits on a sustained basis. Which is maybe 1% of the population, if that, and even then mostly when raced.

But, we're ranging way off topic and this subthread will probably get deleted anyway.
