[GoldenRod]

This should be an interesting topic. Place your votes here.

 

[therealdeal770]

dont know if they are the best but 5 ive always had trust in were mobil,havoline,gtx,valvoline and pennzoil

 

[outrun]

Not in any particular order

1. Chevron Supreme
2. Texaco Havoline
3. Pennzoil
4. Ford Motorcraft
5. Kendal
6. Mobile Drive Clean

HHDEO's 15W40

1. Chevron Delo
2. Mobil Delvac 1300

 

[Leo]

Delo 400 is the best dino in my book, bar none! (Pity about its viscocity tho!)

 

[pbm]

Any of the following 5 would be welcome in my gasoline engine.
1) Pennzoil
2) Havoline/Chevron
3) any of the Conoco/Phillips variations
4) Castrol GTX
5) Exxon Superflo (its Mobil brethren are similar but usually more expensive)

There are numerous other dinos (ie: QS, Valvoline, WM Supertech) that I would have no problem using for reasonable OCI's.

 

[TallPaul]

Any high mileage oil would do (well maybe not the QS with Sick 50 added). My top picks:

Maxlife
Citgo Ultralife

 

[Bill in Utah]

I'd list my top 5 like this...

1. Pennzoil
2. Halovine
3. Castrol GTX
4. Chevron
5. QState

These I've run for hundreds of thousands of miles with excellent protection. I buy the above oils only when they are on sale and whichever is the cheapest is what I stock up on.

I know that my engines and familys outfits are safe for a long life using these.

Never had a single problem oil related in all the years..

Take care, bill

2. pennzoil
3. exxon superflo
4. castrol gtx
5. quakerstate

in no particular order

 

[Ray H]

Interesting that no one mentioned Motorcraft...

 

[sjlee]

I'm with Bill in Utah... whatever is on sale goes into my car (most times it's 49 cents/qt). Usually, it's one of the following:

1. Quaker State
2. Havoline
3. Chevron

In addition, I wouldn't have any problems using Castrol GTX.

Our newest vehicle (Honda Pilot) takes 5W-20 oil, which I'm having a difficult time finding in the above brands. So far, the cheapest I've found on-sale is Valvoline (99 cents/qt).

 

[Bryanccfshr]

1. Delo
2. Chevron/ Havoline
3. Penzoil long life
4. Valvoline Durablend (it's conventional)
5. exxon superflo

 

[martyi]

In no particular order:
1. Havoline
2. Havoline
3. Havoline
4. Havoline
5. Havoline

 

[grbr95]

Martyi,
LOL!!! Yeah...that's the vibe around here that I get as well. All because of the Moly.. The Holy Moly.
It sure does have a lot, I'll say that. I wonder why the other dino's lack the moly so much?

 

[pbm]

Ray H: I included Motorcraft with my #3)-any of the Conoco/Phillips variants

 

[TallPaul]

Maxlife SM lists 300 ppm moly. How much does Havoline have?

 

[Triple_Se7en]

1)Havoline
2)Chevron
3)Pennzoil
4)Castrol
5)Mobil

The Conoco family (Motorcraft/Kendall/Trop-Artic) are now syn-blend. The thread-starter here asks for dinos.... not syn-blends. Also, supposedly many HMs have some synthetic in them.

 

[racer12306]

in no order

1. any sm oil
2. any sm oil
3. any sm oil
4. any sm oil
5. any sm oil
