Hello all. I have some questions concerning motor oil. Ive been lurking for a bit trying to find some answers but I cant seem to come to a conclusion. So here goes. I have 3 cars that I regularly take care of/chane oil in. My 1999 Hyundai elantra with 130000 on the clock. My girlfreinds 1999 chevy malibu with 80000 (some old guy owned it before her and she bought it with just a tick under 60k for a pretty fair price IMO)
My Hyundai ive just been throwing whatever in it that is on sale at work with a whatever filter, I would like to change this. because lately ive been noticing a bit more oil consumption (idk if I just am now noticing it or if its a recent development but either way its there and i would like to throw something better than kendle into the mix.) as of now I was planning on using max life blend and a puralator pure on (possibly for the first change using a puralator clasic I have in my garage)
Next the malibu. this car burns little to no oil and has pretty low miles for its age. I was thinking about switching it over to mobil 1 but I dont really have a reason behind it other than I was reading through the Q&A on this board posted by penzoil. Any thoughts questions or concerns on this one guys? This car is the malibu ls with the 2.8 v6 AFAIK
Lastly my dads Suzuki sx4. Unknown milage and its a 2007. My dad insists on running souly synthetic in it. I told him that I would change it for a fraction of the cost that the local oil change place would charge him. Auto zone was having a sale on penzoil plat. I walked out of auto zone with 5 quarts of penzoil plat and a purolator pure one. I have been reading the forums and some people seem to be opinionated about oil. I know that there is no perfect oil but is there any reason some peple tend to dislike penzoil? Did i put my dad on the wrong track by filling it up with penzoil? All input is welcome
THANKS GUYS

P.S. how can I stop the screen from jiggling back and forth when im typing? is anyone else experiencing this? is it something on my end or whats the deal?
