Oil change
I have heard so many different things on the different brands of motor oil. I usually use penzoil but is there a major difference in other brands and which are considered better?

welp.. check out the oil forum..it's fun sifting through the opinions...my current truck had 126,000 when I got it, Pennz and Fram @5k intervals it's entire life..it was not horrid inside.. no sludge, but a pretty heavy varnish. I ran some seafoam in the crankcase for a little while, and switched to Royal Purple, with Pure 1 filters, and it is beautiful inside now at 145,000.
If you change your oil at a reasonable interval, with almost any quality oil, it will be fine.

Walmart sells Motorcraft oil filters for 4.00 or less.
I use Castrol in my higher mileage trucks, Walmart's Supertech is also affordable and made by a brand name manufacturer - but I can not remember which one - Quaker?
