Ran castrol forever, never a issue. I have recently switched to rotella.. As for synthectics go, to each their own.. You keep your oil changed correct, and the engine will stay plenty clean..

Also run a Lucas oil additive.
I've been running with the GTX High Mileage, and I'm happy with it. No problems and I love the price wars, some one is always a dollar cheaper.

I went with the cheapest for the wifes car and snagged a wix filter and six quarts of Pennzoil synthetic for $30 so I will stick to that plan for now on!!!

I run pennzoil platinum/ultra and a wix filter period. On every vehicle I own. UOA on a few different brands revealed it gives me the best overall protection.
