You won't feel anything by just changing your oil. The only place you'll see anything is on a dyno graph at high rpm. Just run an oil you think is best for your engine/driving conditions. I'm currently running Purple and don't like it, thinned out too early for me. Castrol was one of the first I tried. It was ok. Never tried Penzoil, sorry.

I used penzoil platinum full synthetic in my wife's fjcruiser because it was on sale and had a great mail in rebate came out to like 1.97 a quart after alll was said and done, her car is sort of the I don't stick to one brand car, if it is on sale I get it for her.. My truck I use mobile 1 and have no problems, I am going to start going 6000 on a oil change as long as I do not beat my truck up too badly during that time. hers I do every 5000 because of warranty.

If want the best check out BG Hi-L0W30. It's expensive, like $100 a case, but it has the MOA already in it. I'm a mechanic and I've seen the great things BG prouducts do.
