Bomgaars has had a store in our county seat town for at least 45 years and I spend a couple thousand dollars a year in their stores but I never trusted their engine oil. Im basing my feelings on one incident so I'm being fair but we tend to not forget the bad times.
A neighbor had a Massey 300 combine engine that locked up during the off season. He took it to the dealer and after the dealer took it apart the neighbor asked me if I would like to go to the dealer with him see the results. The Pistons skirts were covered with a black carbon type material that caused the Pistons to stick. The mechanic checked the air intake and it was tight with no leaks, the air cleaner was not plugged nor did it have a hole in it. The inside of the intake system was clean as a whistle so it did not ingest dirt. The mechanic suggested the problem was caused by the oil. The combine owner said he used "good Bomgaars oil". I could see the mechanic wanted to say something more about the Bomgaars oil but he kept silent as did I.
That was a good 25-30 years ago and I know a lot has changed since then. I highly doubt if the oil Bomgaars carries now is from the same supplier it came from then, but I've always had the feeling Bomgaars buys oil that barely gets by, from the cheapest supplier.
I do use Bomgaars 90wt in the rear ends of my old tractors though. These tractors see light duty and I don't feel like spending big money on the gear oil.
