What is your favorite 20 weight oil, and why?

[ToyotaNSaturn]

My choice for #1 20 weight oil: Pennzoil 5w-20 dino. Works great in both of my rides.

Even in my old Saturn, NVH is lowered with this product. That's amazing to me in such a buzzy engine.

(I think I know buster's answer now.

I purchased a new Honda in May of 2005 and started looking here for oil recommendations and UOA reports. It would appear from everything I've read that most major brand 5w20s will do a great job. Havoline has been highly touted so I went with that. I change oil by the OLM and I have a lot of confidence that the oil will do just fine. However, I am not 100% sure about that or that the OLM is telling me the truth. I plan on getting a UOA on my next oil change just to find these things out for sure.

Pennzoil Platinum 5W20 in my 3 Honda autos and my snowblower. Why? I think it's a great product and I know what went in to the production of it before I retired. I also get it FREE since I am a retiree

+1 for Pennzoil Platinum - it's in our Odyssey V6 right now. I prefer either that or Redline in 5W-20. Engine was most quiet w/ RL, next with PP. WAY noisier on Mobil 1. YMMV.

wow you lucky son of a gun!

I'm a big fan of Royal Purple 5w20 and PP 5w20. I sure wish i could find some PP 0w20.

 

[Mr Nice]

Free Pennzoil Platinum ?

I need to fill out a SOPUS job application.

I like 5w20 Pennzoil since I can get it for $1.27 at Home Depot.

Amsoil XL 5W-20 for obvious reasons posted in the UOA section.

50% on the OLM right now!

OCI's for the house compliments of Johnny (crowd roars

MC 5w-20 currently. Cheapest semi-synth available (I think). Currently in two cars in the fleet. Daughter's 91 Vulcan and my wife's jeep.

All Climate 20W-50, because it's REAL oil.

 

[mikemc]

Motorcraft blend, because it produces great UOA's and because I bought 18 quarts at walmart when it was $1.58 ea.

 

[MC5W20]

Motorcraft 5w20, why you ask? Well it says semi-syn right on the bottle and its at a price to be compared to dino. Plus this oil meets Fords spec. My second choice would be syntec blend 5w20 but the price point favors the MC5w20

 

[pmwalter]

I use Pennzoil 5w-20 for my 2002 Honda CRV and 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Both spec. 5w-20.

Why Pennzoil? Because I bought a whole bunch of Pennzoil vinyl oil change stickers on Ebay. So I kind of have to now. Castrol oil with a Pennzoil sticker would be like lying.

 

[buster]

I only went with RL initially bc I wanted to test it being I can put a lot of miles on it quickly from my commute to work. Since it did perform well, and due to how I drive, I'm going to stick with it.

I think Castrol GTX, Havoline and Motorcraft are my favorite 20wt dino's/blends. I think all the synthetics are great. Amsoil/M1/Schaeffer's etc.

I'm running Havoline 5W20 in our Mazda6 2.3L and F-150 5.4L. I was convinced to use Havoline by UOA's and the sale price of $1.58 at AA. I stocked up and bought 4 cases, although I'm down to 3 cases now. My other choice is Motocraft 5W20, again based on UOA's. I think they are both great oils for the money. But make no mistake, if I was able to get PP for free I'd run it!

 

[toyota62]

Fuchs 0w-20 the reason is 80% biodegradable ester base engine oil.Seen few UOA's here with excellent results.
Currently installed in to my 2.2L camry.
Great Fuel economy and low engine noise compared to mobil1 0w-40.

 

[TallPaul]

Redline because it has a HT/HS viscosity higher than many 10w30s.

 

[dave1251]

Pennzoil 5W-20 because a lot of work went into this product to get it developed.

 

[RTexasF]

Mobil 1 0W20 SL. Why? First it's a good product and second I used the (now defunct) Pep Boys coupons to stock up at 1/2 price.
