I’m content. I use good oil and a good filter always.

I experiment a bit but I've never been unhappy!Is there anybody else posting here that are content as I am with their oil and filter choice ?
I’m good with what I use because it works very well. So who’s content and who’s not
How does one judge how content you are with the oil you use during the OCI?
UOA? Engine does not fall out?
The engine is not going to have more power nor better MPG nor sound quieter going from one oil to another (assuming them meet the spec in owners manual).

I am. I recently started using store brand synthetics (e.g. Supertech) and can't complain.
I'm very happy with my choice. Mobil 1 0W30 ESP and a Fram Ultra filter. It's in two of my vehicles now.
I'm confident in using either Mobil 1 or Valvoline Synthetic and an OEM filter.
Nothing is ever simple at BITOG. We have a thirst for over analyzing everything.
Define "content."

Wait … when did you reach this conclusion? How strong is your opinion? Why did you elect to use “thirst”? Are you sure it’s everything?
I am.
I'm content. I use what I do because it's fairly priced, easy to obtain, and works well according to UOAs I've done. Can't really ask for anything more in my opinion.
My car I use: Castrol 0w40, Mann filter
My Jeep I use: Pennzoil conventional or Valvoline MaxLife, Wix or Napa filters
I service a lot of vehicles and small engines for family/friends as a side business, and most of what I use is oil that is fairly priced and locally available for both ease and cost for customers. It's hard to find a "bad" oil these days with modern technology, so most of what I use is something that I can get on my way home from work.
Buying a boutique oil that is more expensive and may or may not provide additional protection while being very inconvenient just doesn't make sense for my situation.
