How do different brands' marketing influence your perception of that oil? What are some perceptions you've heard over the years that for better or worse were influenced by their marketing or reputation?
For example, I once heard an old-timer swear he'd never use Pennzoil because that was what a buddy was using when his engine broke down. And something about the paraffin solidifying in the engine.
Another example, Mobil 1 bottle marketing gives the impression of highly professional oil, while Quaker State marketing can look like an "old timer's" oil. Super Tech marketing looks decidedly off-brand, while Castrol marketing seems to be catered to a younger crowd, etc.
What are your own personal perceptions, based on either experience, stories, or how the bottle looks?
