Don't put Pennzoil in the same class as Castrol & Havoline.
Stay away from Pennzoil, and Quaker State, it's the same oil.

Motorcraft oil?

I've heard from a few different mechanics that engines they have disassembled seemed to have a gummy build up when Pen. Oil was used over extended time periods. However, I can not talk from personal experience as I have always used Valvoline. I am considering a switch to Chevron Supreme though. My local Costco (in Salem, OR) sells the Chevron at a bargain price. This is the only reason I am considering switching from Valvoline. I have one car with 255,000 plus miles on it using Valvoline dino oil. I would be comfortable using Motorcraft oil as well though--haven't heard of any problems with it.
