I use WalMart SuperTech High Mileage. Then again I have a V6. It'd probably run on Canola oil. I used to run Castrol High Mileage but I discovered that if you shake the containers, the WalMart brand had a higher initial viscosity.

I used to run castrol 5w30. Now I'm going to run rotella t 15w40 good thing we use it on our water trucks cuz I got 5 drums of it. And I hear it has zinc and that's some sort of anti wear agent?

Only for usually older engines with flat-tappet camshafts and lifters...
