Anybody could come up with a good case for any type oil, but I prefer Valvoline.

I use whatever is on sale, as long as it meets most recent specs. Shell Rotella is a good oil. Now a days, i dont even change my own oil tho. It is easier to use a quickie lube shop. They sell Pennzoil, no problems with it. And I dont have to get rid of used oil and filters.

I wouldnt put Penzoil in my LAWNMOWER... and now Quaker State is owned by Penzoil.. so I use Valvoline...

Ironically Pennzoil is what I use in our outdoor power equipment IE mowers and garden tractor. It is the only brand straight 30 weight oil available here in Smalltown Ohio

Hum peaches and cream massage oil by my massuse, o wait your talking about car oil,hehehehehehe, but like my brother and i get big fight ober this topic, he says it doesnt matter , it all come up thru the ground and comes outa one pipe, the argument is set , and i reply back , it;s how you refine it, in after that and toss en slander all night like that all night, but my fav is and will be valvoline , but i based this on my own test, now i ran a 1963 chev belair ,283, auto, many miles on it,but ran good , nice and quite not a sound to motor at all , very tight engine.so i knew it was a good engine, just underpowered for that heavy a car,so one year i ran penzoil one year,ok, then pulled valve covers, yikes what a mess, all that parafin built up , it was unreal,so i gave it a very good flush took 5 trys but i got inside engine super clean,dump valvoline in, year latter pulled valve covers , still look like new new, now parfin anywere i , was sold on valvoline, went the the same route too work , same miles everything the same,so thats just my two pennys worth Toolman

I've tore engines down that used Penzoil and Quaker State that had so much build-up it had parfin sludge 2 1/2 inches thick in the valley area. Won't see that in a Valvoline engine.

first of all, I'm Ladygoodwrench's MOM. I don't know beans about cars, but I have permission to read and learn. I had no idea that Quaker State was lousy oil. Think that is why my car stalls when the weather is cold? It takes one stall and restart a minute or two later, then everything is fine. I have a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva ... fuel injected, full of sensors, which I hate. One thing goes bonkers, the whole engine shuts down.

Mobile 1, Mobile 1 Extended Performance, Castrol Syntec, or Royal Purple.
Of course I'm partial to synthetic oils.
