Conoco's Kendall, Exxon Superflo and Formula Shell are all fine oils and less expensive than the more popular brands.

I would tend to agree. You can get many store brand oils cheaper, but with retailers switching suppliers often, it's nice to have a decent quality (QS) oil that you can find on a regular basis for not much more than generic brands.

Plus the green bottle is nice.

That's just it: these oils are so close to each other in terms of quality, that the choice often comes down to the bottle color; but I don't like the QS green bottle.

Going green is the current thing! Everyone is going green.
SOPUS oils rock.

There really is no such thing at the best dino right?
Isnt the standard for GF4 qualification a test that runs all dino's and synthetics alike through a pretty regorus test? Enought of at test to really make the need for a synthetic a non-need? Therefore, even the weekest conventional (add pack wise) will do?

Almost every conventional oil brand may react differently in your engine. Some may be quieter - some may be louder-sounding. Some may be dirtier upon draining it - some may have sludge at the end of the drain. Some may consume more than others. Some may hold up longer - some may have shorter oil life. Some may sheer sooner - some may not sheeer much at all. Some get black on the dipstick early - some late in the OCI..... etc..... etc.

Nobody can give you a sound recommendation - or know the correct oil for your vehicle. You need to play your own trial & error... need to get UOAs afterwards. That's the best way to find the right oil.
