I don't care much about any of the marketing hype from any of the refiners - I use the conventional 10W-30 like this:

Pennzoil

I'm not saying it's any better than any other quality oil - nor am I saying other choices are inferior. Everyone's free to choose and believe what they will. Some folks are susceptible to marketing hype - others have very good reasons to believe one oil is better for their application than another. I guess that's why they have that paramutual window at the horse tracks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I believe the choice is a very personal one, but I don't like to denigrate one product to make another look good.... sell the product on its own merits - not by running down another one, hopefully leading the mark to the conclusion that the only way to salvation is by buying this "wonderful" product to save himself from the "evils" of another.

All I'm saying is I can attest to way over a million miles driven on plain ol' Pennzoil - not counting the offshore extreme-duty marine engines, generators and lawn mowers - all loved Pennzoil and only one ever complained when the oil pump quit with my wife driving and she didn't see the pressure drop - seized engine resulted.... don't know if I can blame the oil after 300k miles.... and I sure know better than to blame her. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Use a quality oil, change it (and the oil/air filters) often, keep your cooling system in top shape and you should get good service from most any engine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
