as long as they have the badge on them, they all work just fine. Personally I think it's the filter that really matters.
thanks... beat me to it. The article I found awhile back pretty much showed that with the study... all oils did fine, the filter was the most important asset to your oil.

oh my. good read, this has changed my opinion i should say. Perhaps the article is correct and todays oils are slightly better at best than one another. guess i will just go with whats on sale =)
however, the article notes on engine wear and such, however it does not touch upon how well the engine would run with different oils.... for instance, my brother used royal purple and it never ran smoother. But oh well, i guess they're all the same.

ok then lol.... whats the best filter out there? =) i've always gone with k&N gold class, simply because its a brand i trust and its expensive (lets just be honest, we think more expensive means better quality)
the article was used on taxi drivers who drive crazy and all day in all sorts of weather. They tried different oils in more than one car at a time and actually took the whole engine apart and checked them over. IMO... don't get the most expensive, just stick with something and don't switch.

Well i don't agree... I've learned that most expensive means that someone wants more money. Lets face it, its not about the parts as much as the brand name you are buying. If you stick with simple name brands then you'll be fine. Look for the one that seems to be in the mean price.
I used pennzoil in my car and always have... I've had no problems so I'll stick with it. I'm sure K&N, Amsoil, bosch, valvoline, any name brand will be fine. You might even be okay with using wal-mart brands or such, but I like to stick with a good name. As long as you replace the filter and oil properly and during good time durations, you'll be fine.
i like quaker state syn blend,, and i dont know why
I use that in my 80 malibu... for some reason it seems to work best in that car... but according to the article I guess its in my head. Best thing to do... find an oil you like and can afford, then stick with it.

i run castrol gtx 5w30 in the t/a and castrol syntec5w30 in my 05 monte carlo ss because it's supercharged and i had a bad experience with my 3800v6 in my 96 firebird(cracked head at 105k).
i've always used castrol in all of my vehicles, and when i worked at express oil change, if a customer asked what i use in my car and what i recomend, i always say catrol, and for the filters.........i use k&n if at all possible and if nobody has one of those i use mobile 1. but from working around oil for a LONG time. i've noticed that bosch and valvoline have good filters. and just so everybody knows, only use oil out of the bottle, not out of bulk if you go to an oil change center. and no, express isnt the only ones using cheap recycled oil in there bulk oil. ;)
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
Hello, so I changed the front bearings on the bird and the ABS inoperative light came on. I made a mistake of not removing negative battery cable. Now...
