Havoline 10W30 in everything
It’s the 1990’s: what motor oil and grade are you using?

Interesting. Thank You brother for sharing.
Pennzoil - I always preferred it. Heck, were we still using cans then? (Years are blending fast into the past).

My Great grandad worked in the Oklahoma oil patch in the 50s and was and always had P66 10w40 in cans and later in his life switched to Pennzoil right around the time of plastic bottles and always had 30wt and 10w40 for the 1993 Chevy C1500
Dad's dad was a Mack Diesel Mechanic and nothing but Mystik everything grease all the way up to 15w50 he last drove a 1996 C1500
Mom's dad was a painter and drove Dodge pickups ONLY and always had GTX by the cases 10w30
Dad Autozone house brand since it was Costal then Superflo then Orange Autozone Label up to current STP mostly Chevy SUVs
Me I started driving in 1992 other than some PJ1 or Maxima for dirtbikes i started out with Pennzoil 10w30 mostly and Mystik 15w40 for the Powerstrokes
Currently mainly Pennzoil PYB and Platinum as well as Euro in the wife's MB

Always 10W-30
Always Supertech oil or anything on sale that was close in price.
Always used either an AC Delco or STP filter.
Always changed the oil every 3k, which was about once every six weeks.
My cost back then was $5. Just under $10 in today's money.
My daily driver then, a red 1994 Toyota Camry Coupe with the four-cylinder, is still on the road today.

Great car and a great choice of oil for it!
I recall using a lot of Exxon Superflo 10W-30 and/or Castrol 30 HD in my old 1976 Suburban.
