I had a 98 Mercury Sable with the DOHC engine that had a steady diet of Valvoline WB @ 3K oci for the 140,000 miles that I owned it, and it was problem free. Never switched to Max Life because I never felt like I had to.
Now, having learned lots on BITOG, I am going with longer OCIs and experimenting with other oils. 5k runs in the Kia on Valvoline products seem to have done well. Pennz Plat has been nice, and will be in for at least 7k. I have some NextGen and QSUD that waiting for the next oil changes, so we'll see how that goes. (I got both for almost free with MIRs) And after that, I may try PYB next summer (2013).
Long story short: I have run, and would run either Valvoline or Pennzoil products. I have had no issues with either.
You can still get the 20.00 MIR on QSUD, through the end of the month. I picked mine up at wallmart, where it sells locally for 20.57. Talk about a cheap oil change!
