Clifford gets Motorcraft in another 1300 miles because he goes to the dealer for his checkups. Olie generally gets Pennzoil or whatever's on sale. I still need to decide for Galadriel (or as my mom calls her - The Griffon).

I have my doubts though. If you read up on AC Delco filters, some good evidence exists that they're actually not good quality. QC is definitely iffy. I have to open the box in the store to make sure I can see nothing wrong; often I find burrs or shavings on the threads. Considering that, I can't say I know why I keep buying them...that's a really compelling reason not to buy them, who knows what's wrong inside if that can be found on the outside.
Interesting. I may just start using purolator from now on.

For Valvoline, I would go exclusive Maxlife. My stash:
