Back in the '70's, I used Penzoil until I tore down several engines and
found a ton of deposits at various levels of hardening. Kinda scarey when
people you don't know look at your parts and say "Ahhhh, you use Penzoil,
don't you?" I then switched to Quaker State before moving to Castrol.
I try to change the oil & filter every 3k miles, though sometimes it
stretches to 5k. My main reason now for using synthetics is to be save a
dead dinosaur. I was just looking for some technological reasons.

I use Castrol in everything.
I like the smell and the white bottle with orange graphics.
They also sponsor John Force.
There is little or no benefit for using super high price oil. The important
thing is that you change it regularly. I would caution about buying no-name
el-cheapo oil. Synthetic, redline, amsoil, etc... may make you feel better
but really won't make any difference. Just find some packaging that you
like. Pennsoil has a neat yellow bottle and Quaker State is Green.
