I believe that is more important to stay with the same kind of oil, than what oil you use(garbage excluded). I have worked in dealerships my entire working career and, synthetics excluded, the best looking internals come more from consistancy of oil brand and type.
In other words... Pick a decent oil and stay with it......Don't top off or do a change with anything else, stock up your garage or pick a place and find out what they use in bottles....Do not trust what the sign says or what they tell you. Use out of a bottle only.
BTW I use bottled Honda automotive oil. It is made by Mobil and is a semi synthetic and my employee discount is sweet.

I personally use pennzoil synthetic in everything I own, and have owned in the past. We sponser pennzoil at our quick lube, and seeing the oils that go in and out and seeing what types of oil affect what. Quaker state is owned by pennzoil and has in the past had parafin in their oils. Pennzoil has since taken that out of quaker state and penzoil has never had parafin in their oil. Shell now owns both. They use a pure base which is clear, and has excellent thermal breakdown princinpals compared to most conventional oils. There was one vehicle in the past, a man bought a 94 chevy 1500 with a 350 brand new. He had a route that he drove all day everyday. He changed his oil every 3000 miles, had every single receipt of his oil changes and always used pennzoil. He drove it 1,000,000 miles and pennzoil found out. They bought him a brand new truck ( after checking all the receipts). They tore the engine down that was in the truck and they said the honeing marks were still in the block from when it was originally machined. There was an article in NOLN (National oil and lube news) about this topic.
I will always run pennzoil and nothing else, but if I were to run something different it would be valvoline. That is my opinion
