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.

Been running Mobile 1 for two years and love the stuff pretty pricey though.

Been using Amsoil in my last three vehicles and I'm pleased with the results.

Motorcraft in the Expy. Other than that, Valvoline or Mobil 1.

Amsoil exclusively. Go to amsoil website and check out their tests (done by and independent lab). They can also do an oil analysis that will give you a heads up of any engine problems before they become critical. Have been running amsoil in everything I own for 3 or 4 years. Not expensive at all if you use the extended drain intervals. They have oil and filters for everything you own. I became a believer when a guy introduced it to me to run in my jet ski. 2-stroke engines are very prone to engine damage from cheap oil. I disabled the oil injection so I could pre-mix my oil and run it much leaner, which made better throttle response and higher revs. In small two strokes they recommend 100:1 mix ratio. I have run that for three years in my string trimmer and my chain saw. Try that with any other oil!
