What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

[nickaluch]

0w30

Put GC in front of it and that would be mine.

 

[Passport1]

if you could only have one engine oil, what would it be?

Well then I would be in a communist country and the choice would already be made.

We need more info from YOU sir. You didn’t even give us idea of vehicle it’s going in!

That's the whole point, my opinion doesn't matter. I want everyone to decide what the ONE oil will be based on their own multiple use cases, not mine.
If I start adding different criteria then my bias' and requirements will impact the outcome.
I want to see if a natural, unexpected trend develops.

Pennzoil Ultra.

More info please.

 

[THORROMIG]

Pennzoil Ultra.... SOPUS products....

 

[M104]

Total Quartz 7000 10W40.

 

[wpod]

M1 0W-40 EURO although any of todays oils from a major bottler and with the proper visc and ratings would let the engine live beyoud my ownership of the veheicle.

Not necessarily. It might be dictated by a SHTF scenario, that requires economy of thought, space, or some other valuable commodity.

Look at your list of cars and pick one oil brand and grade that, if you had to, you would use in all of them.

Pennzoil Ultra!!! Besides the Mobil 1 0W16 I have in new Rav4 Hybrid and the QSUP -- the Amazon Basics in my vehicles were bought really cheap for the 5 quart containers.

Valvoline has always been my oil of choice, and makes me happy to use it. No other reason that dad did, and I used it on my first car. I've run other oils, but always feel warm and fuzzy when using Valvoline.

So if it’s carbeurated you wouldn’t tell us. That throws stuff off. Point heing: give me an idea if it’s DI, fuel injected or carbeurated. This isn’t mind reading. I’ll standby M1 0w40

I accept your M1 0w40, good answer.

You will use the oil I tell you to use, and you will like it. That is the best oil, the only oil you need.

I can't pick just one. Too many applications with vastly different requirements.
This question is fairy-tale silly.

It's just a thought exercise. You don't have to play if you don't want to.

I identify as poly-oil-ous… I will not be constrained by your societal norms and restrictive customs.

I’m a peacock - you’ve gotta let me fly!
