Oil Brands: What are you running?

For those of you who do your own oil changes, what oil brand have you been using?

Deciding myself between Valvoline, Pennzoil, or Mobil1. It probably doesn't matter, but just curious what others favor for this platform.

I used Castrol Edge 0W-20 for the only oil change I’ve done on the BRZ so far.

I’m not wedded to any particular brand, especially since I’m not tracking (or driving like I am).

Motul 300v 5w-30

If that isn't available, I'd prob run Castrol Edge Euro that meets ACEA A3/B4, 30 or 40w.

Castrol Edge
Pennzoil Platinum
Quaker State Ultimate Protection

The QS was $23 for a 5qt and it gave me the placebo "oh shit, its idling quieter" effect so I'll stick with that for a while.
O'Reilly's Syntec, so far. Looking at Edge.
0w-20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Valvoline Advanced if that is unavailable. They both have some of the best UOAs I've seen for $35/gal or lower. Regular Pennzoil Plat is good and is what I ran before, but Valvoline Advanced has a better addpack IMO.

So, PPUP > VA > PP for me.

(I run boutique oils in my Supra however, and those are either 5w-40 Amsoil Signature or Redline. This is because that has a built motor and puts up with a ton of heat and stress .)
I did the oil change on my car at 10,600 miles. First one was done at Toyota at 6k.

I used Motul 8100 ECO-lite 5w20 and also replaced the differential fluid with Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90

I assume you are in colder weather?

I used 5w20 because of the hot temps here in AZ.
