i know we have our differences...but i agree with this 100%!

i have used penziol 10-30 and a mopar filter for 14 years...everything looks good. the only thing i can figure is how long you wait between changes. hell, all of it turns to garbage sooner or later.

I've always used Castrol GTX 10w30. I think I'm gonna run Mobile 1 from now on though

I just put Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 in the S-10. Next time I change the oil in the Dodge I'm gonna try Pennzoil and see if I see a different result.

the Guy that did my engine work said that's what he uses. Said he runs it in everything and its good stuff. I figure I'll give it a shot. The first couple changes will be with normal oil. Once I'm done changing it a bunch of times I'll put the Mobil 1 in
