0-30 German Castrol
Look into the 0-30 Castrol full syn. but the key is to look for the bottles that have the red seal crest on the front and on the back of the bottle it will state that it is manufactured in Germany very important. Bob the oil guy as found on the internet (bobtheoilguy.com) has some impressive test results on several of the leading brands, I also own a BMW-540I M sport in which only certain oils are approved and carry the correct SAE shear/stress rating and the German castrol is one of them.
Don't be fooled by the "0" weighting value as noted by the tests it's a very good oil.
Cheers Ian

A Dale Jr. fan not using Quaker State? lol
I usually use whatever synthetic is on sale that week. Use Valvoline High Mileage oil in the Jeep (She's over 100k).
Tell you what you should do - go ask this over at bobistheoilguy.com and see what answers you get.

RP. May be spendier but after the first change you can run it longer so the money evens out and you get better protection.

Although I am not a mech. I have worked in mech shops and dealerships my whole life. That being said, I have heard of engines having dirty oil problems, no oil problems, but never a "cheap" oil problem.
AutoZone's 10w30 has always worked for all 130k on my truck. No complaints yet.
