I'm loyal to whatever current API/ILSAC service designation's C-H-E-A-P. Brand is irrelevant. (It's only oil.
)
Chevron 49 cents oil.
Loyal anyway as I buy Havoline when I can't get a rebate price and I use delo in both and one tercel that burns oil. I even bought the Chevron over the rebate Maxlife since I had enough doubt
that the rebate will be paid to go for the bird in the hand over the one in the bush.

Valvoline, conventional and MaxLife.
I am amazingly disloyal for an Amsoil dealer. I used LC, use FP. I made a Pennz/Amsoil blend. Use other filters.
But I keep coming back to Amsoil for the last 7 years.

My oil of choice would be Castrol GTX conventional oil.If I did use synthetic it would be Castrol Syntec.Joe
Before BITOG I was a Valvoline AC loyalist. Then I tried some differnt brand then I tried synthetics and even a HDEO now I am thinking there was no real point in changing brands and expirimenting so much.
I am now into the best name brand oil for 2 bucks or less a quart with LC for the Meager 5k mile intervals I am now restricted to. Simple enough for me to buy on price and be happy since coming to the realization that it doesn't really matter.

I go with Amsoil for the last 11 yrs. But I might try a little Schaeffer along with Amsoil at some point in the future.
I am forced to use other products for applications Amsoil does not support. Brake fluid, Power steer fluid etc.

To be fair, I've been told that Quaker State oil formally used a high paraffin wax oil base, when it was refined from PA crude; on the one hand it did leave deposits in engines, but conversly, paraffin oils were a good lubricants in an automobile engine. I heard this complaint of sludging several times as a part-time oil changer for a shop that used QS, and was told that once QS improved their additives package (which I assume also to be transformation to a groupII from a groupI). In any case, QS is no longer in the Quaker State and is based in Texas, as is Pennzoil, and that they are now both a part of Shell Oil...
Schaeffer's
Chevron.
