If been using AMSOIL for years now the price is probably the same or less considering you get 5 times longer miles out of one oil change vs cheap oil , and think of all the time saved too from not having to do all those oil changes , plus it's much better for your cars engine anyways ...
oooh, they almost had me until you said nanotech. I am extremely suspicious about them now. There are many products out there that claim to have nanotechnology, but its really just chemistry and/or a marketing gimick. I'm not saying the oil isn't good, or that the filter is junk. They probably both work very well. But I get very suspicious when I hear buzwords thrown in. Remember everything with 'turbo power' 15-20 years ago? Or anything with spaceage technology for the last 50 years? Nanotech is the modern equivelent. Just keep an eye out.
