Old V6 Ecotec. Used 15-30 for the most part. Switched to 10-40 semi-synthetic, but it was too thick. Even with +230,000 kms & a stuffed top end (1 or 2 of the valves are gone + head gasket), zero clicking or black smoke out of the tailpipe.
Unless you keep it in the garage & drive once a week, these cars weren't designed to last 30 years. Enjoy them while they still run.
Oh, almost forget, Valvoline. Must've been influenced by John Laws at a younger age.

Most people just use whatever they see the most on TV and on the shelf at super cheap. And most of the shelves at super cheap are full of penrite. Coincidentally penrite is the most popular in the poll ;)
I use Valvoline in one car and Edge in another because the cars run well on them, know what I mean?
