There is another thread with pretty much the same question, you will find everyone has their favorite oil they use. I happen to use Amsoil ZRod 10 - 30... Now sit back, relax and get ready for all the other choices

I live in Texas, and drive my car year round (~ 5k-6k miles per year).
I use Valvoline VR-1 20w-50, and change it every June, and December. It has plenty of ZDDP, and I can buy it at my local parts store.

There actually is a simple answer. If you change your oil frequently and don't drive like a nut it would be nearly impossible to screw it up with oil selection. In other words, it doesn't make any difference. Isn't that a simple answer?
