What Oil Brand Label Do You Use?
Just was wondering what brand label oil everyone prefers?

I run full synthetic Valvoline in all my gas stuff and Rotella Synthetic in the diesel.... If Walmart had Valvoline Synthetic in diesel grade and weight I would use that instead....

Currently running Quaker State Horse Power full synth. If I'm not using that, I normally run Castrol GTX.
My previous preference for my old Pontiac Sunbird was Rotella 15W40. Started good in the winter, and pulled out an incredible 36 mpg highway pounding on it during the summer.

I run the Delvac 15-40 dino changed @ 5k. Just put some snakeoil in it 2 or 3k miles ago (REV-X). Real impressed with the reduced noise & disappearance of any romps in any tune since. Never been a believer in oil additives but may be something to this stuff & the oil system on the 7.3.

All of my diesels have always gotten oil changes every 3000-3500 miles with Valvoline Premium Blue 15/40 in the warm season and Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme Synthetic 5/40 in the cold season.
The SUPERCAR gets Valvoline 5/30 every 3000 miles. The SuperCar is a 91 Oldmobile Calais with 230K miles. Hey, it was a freebie 5 years ago.
