Best answer by Mark-F is my stand on it!

I've been working in the repair industry for 6 years but have been around cars and tinkering with them for most of my 39 years. I have come to the conclusion that changing the oil regularly is orders-of-magnitude more important than what brand you use. I've certainly seen plenty of cars surpass 300k miles using just the cheap oil brands to conclude there is no sense in paying for some big companies advertising budget.
