IMHumbleO, there is little difference between the higher quality oils. There is a difference between Dino, Semi Syn and Full Syn, sure. But... in all my years reading this forum, the corvette, Porsche and truck forums, I can't ever remember ever a person saying they had an engine failure or damage because they used that crappy Mobil 1 and would still have a motor if I had only used Amsol, or Castro or Valvoline, etc... For probably 99.995% of us the differences is engine wear, performance etc cannot be measured, especially as often as it gets changed. Really the best thing you can do, catch a sample of oil when you change it and send it off to Blackstone Labs for a $25 analysis. I do it all the time with my vehicles and can't say I've ever seen any significant difference in results that can be correlated to oil brand.

Get a good quality synthetic at a good price and call it a day... you will be fine.
