Smitty's SuperS from Kmart, when it's on sale for $1.99/qt or less.

Valvoline
Whatever is the cheapest of a reputable oil distributer. Lots of Mobil 5000, Valvoline WB, PYB, QS and ST
Whichever is cheapest. Havoline is on sale at walmart and amazon for $11.77 and also there's a $5 rebate promotion going on too.

The ONLY time in recent memory that I didn't use synthetic oil was years ago when my daughter kept driving while that red "change oil soon" was lit. I told her what the light really meant. She begged me to come to the car and bring oil. I bought the absolute cheapest oil I could find - it just had to look like oil. I guess that was my favorite conventional oil.
Citgo cornered the cheap API motor oil market round here, .59 .79 ...this week they offered 2-5qt tubs for $1.99 ea. A/R. I didn't really need more but at that price I did my 2 limit and threw it on the stash. Citgo 5/20 or 5/30 are decent 7.5k oil imo.
Your question is what is My Favorite conventional? Chevron Supreme in any weight you want.
Why, because it has been good oil for 50 years I know of personally.
It's also the choice of a lot of fire houses around here. That is for engines that go from stone cold to WOT in about 30 seconds hauling a loaded chassis and live a long and happy life

I have been using pennzoil for years with no issues and my engines lasted a long long time.. Recently i changed oil brands but i still think Pennzoil is a good choice if you can get it at a good price..I heard the formula has changed with Pennzoil and it is not as good as it was but im not sure what i heard is true because i did not look to see a uoa.
I am synthetic oil guy but my go to conventional oil for customers/friends is Mobil Super 5000. I good oil and priced right. If somebody wants a syn blend or high mileage oil I'll use Mobil Super high mileage or Valvoline Maxlife red bottle.
Vwb
Castrol GTX or Valvoline.
Wow i not the only one that is shying away from Pennzoil ??

They were clearing it out. Not sure why, but the shelf had a little tag saying a dollar each. So I had the wife stand and guard the shelf while I ran to customer service with a jug to double check the price. Sure enough, $1 plus tax. Ran back and cleared the shelf lol
