So I have been running dino oil and the cheapest decent filters I can buy. For the last seven or eight years I have been running Napa Pro Select and Super Tech filters with 5W30 Supertech oil. I now live 25 more miles (50mi) away from Walmart, and I bike to work every time I can. My car can sit for up to 5 days at a time and gets bad timing chain rattle for less than two seconds at startup after sitting for more than three days.
I decided to run a filter with a better IDBV, a thicker oil to help with drain back as well as help protect a 325,000 mile engine, and change the oil annually.
Today I changed the oil using Mobil Super 5000 10W40 and a Fram XG7317. Generally the climate here is pretty mild, with maybe a week of low 20*F weather. mostly winter here consists of 50-60* and rain.
Please tell me your thoughts and I'll keep you posted on my experience.
