I use the cheapest oil I can find and order a case of filters at a time to save a few dollars.
I do like the big 12 and 16 quart bags of oil in a box with a spout. I buy those when on sale.
My 04 2500hd has a little over 300,000 miles on it. The other day it wasn't touching the stick and I had a quart of valvoline VR1 20w50 and a quart of 15w40 handy. So that got dumped in the engine. The last oil change I had 2 qts of mobile 1 5w20 from changing oil in wife's tahoe. And some oreillys 15w40 so it got a cocktail mix of oils.
Today's oils are pretty good stuff. Or these engines really don't care as long as it's clean oil.
