Default Bad Oil?

So i just rebuilt my f22b1 and it was time for an oil change and O'rileys had a sale on oil filter and Halvoline oil.

i didnt think anything of the oil i was getting but it has to be some if the worst sh** to put in your car. yesterday at the dragon i got the car up to operateing temp and after awhile it didnt feel right and did not want to stay running.

oil pressure was low we drained the oil the next day and the oil had the consistency of water COLD! so now im thinking this crappy oil messed up my engine anybody had problems like this ????

you likely have other problems than the oil. This is a tech/misc question though.

I learned the hard way of getting oriellys "on sale"oil too.. They suck that's why I have a bunch of left over filters laying around. I would suggest Mobile 5000 I know it's expensive but it gets the job done

Well at the moment the low oil pressure is most likely damage from the bad oil and no leaks of coolant into the oil i was just curious if anybody else has bought bad oil like this?

Like I said, your problem likely lies outside of the oil itself, however, You have yet to give any details other than saying you got "bad oil".

How about what oil did you get (not the brand)?
What oil filter?
How do you know oil pressure was low?

There is no such thing as "bad oil" lmao. As already stated, youve got problems elsewhere...
