That could be any of the above. But what do you use regularly?

 

[StevieC]

Amsoil SSO.

 

[ChiTDI]

Group III syn with 5k to 8k intervals, weather and usage dependent. Regularly put 150k to 300k on my vehicles. Used a Group IV Diesel engine oil on my TDI, rest in peace.

The proper BRAND NAME SYNTHETIC or BRAND NAME CONVENTIONAL purchased on sale. I have one last jug of Texaco Havoline 5W-30 conv. in standby for whomever needs it.

 

[wemay]

Brand name synthetic Always considering other options

 

[Chris142]

Cheapest I can find. Super-s and warren oil.

 

[SwampSurvivor]

Supertech synthetic is probably my most common. But also did buy a bunch of 15w40 conventional supertech for my 1995 Wrangler for both transmission aM41l8ocksnd engine

Whatever is on sale... Generally a name brand Synthetic. Although I have a few quarts of $1 GTX high mileage that I bought at Dollar General on clearance. None of my cars have any specific oil requirements other than API SN. Even thought the '01 Civic and CR-V spec 5w-20, I've ran 5w-30 with no ill effects so I can use the same weight for everything. I'm thinking of narrowing it down to one brand. It seems I use Pennzoil more than anything judging by the old jugs with used oil in my shed. I got hooked on it when PUP was $10 for a 5 quart jug at Walmart before the GTL rollout. If I stay with one brand, I feel a bit better about combining leftover oil into one jug for an extra oil change.

Mobil 1 when I get it on sale at Costco and tie the purchase in with a rebate.

 

[exShuttlemech]

M1 0W40 in a 220K v-6 2003 4Runner w/Frantz bypass filter QSUD 0W-20 2010 RAV4 2.5L w/ Baldwin bypass filter QSUD 5W-30 2016 NV2500 V-6 20K dealer synthetic oil 2017 RAV4 11K (when I can get the dealer to follow instructions and change the oil at less than 10K mile increments). QSUD 5W-30 2007 4.2L 2007 F150 XL 169K

 

[CharBaby]

I use everything on sale/discounted/discontinued/rebate in dino or syn, 5W20 or 5W30.(5W30 is my go to oil). Now & again if I need something for a particular car like my OPE or my Firebird FORMULA in my sig, I'll buy that. But, even the Firebird I use 5W30 HM. And yes, I do alternate between the 5W20 & 5W30 dino & syn for summer & winter oils, depending on what I have in my stash and how I arrange them for their intended use.

 

[SevenBizzos]

M1 at WM is still very cheap. You can even score an M1 combo deal at Meijer with a filter.

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

Any full synthetic that is on sale and or has a rebate. API and meets my cars spec.

 

[PimTac]

Brand name synthetic. Valvoline is the go to brand for me at this moment.

 

[jongies3]

Pennzoil Ultra 0W-40

Liqui Moly 10W-60 in the M3. Not sure if it is exotic or not but surely expensive. For all the other cars. I just stick with whatever the cheapest syn or conventional depending on my $ per litre benchmark. Sometimes the brand name can be cheaper than the off brand.
