The bulk oil should be ok as long as its not the pennsoil/qs/kendall recycled stuff. I have actually had BETTER luck with bulk valvoline and M5000 than stuff I got in the bottle at AZ. It must be batch sensitive. You dont know unless you try. A sniff is a good start - the bulk pennziol SMELLS like waste oil. Yecchh.
