Penzoil 5w-30 sells for about $1.30 a quart I think. It also depends on what climate your in.

pennzoil all the way, i like it, and have never had a problem with it. personally i run 15w40 in my turbo ls, but if u just have a stock motor, just run 5w30 in winter and summer, u can run some 10w30 in the summer if u want to

i use castrol gtx high milage 20-50 because my car has 150k on it, it still pulls really good and it doesnt burn as much as with 10-40. but if youve got low milage, go with the cstrol gtx or their syntec brands, 10-40 is what id use if i had lower milage. peace

I tried mobil 1 tri-formula, castrol, and valvoline all synthetic and I couldn't tell any differences so I just went with valvoline synthetic. cheapest of the three. to me the quality of all the three is about the same except for their prices. just my .02
