I break em in on Valvoline VR1 or Rotella. I use Mobil One synthetic once it's broken in.

Wally World 10W30, or 5W30. If I feel really rich I'll even pop for the synthetic version.
40 years of driving and millions of miles later I have ZERO oil related engine failures. Change it regular and always use a good filter.
Nothing fancy and these "boutique" oil makers are riding an urban myth all the way to the bank.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

One thing I will mention that seems to be overlooked is, I have one of those cleanable filter systems on one of my cars, and I changed the oil last night and I cannot believe the amount of crap that thing finds in the oil, of what I consider, to be a really well maintaned engine. It took 40min before I felt I had it totally clean. I will never go back to a bypass style filter for fear all that crap is going to go thru my engine. Where in the world does all that stuff come from....And I did put Brad Penn in, but normally I just run diesel 15-40, but now the diesel stuff is nearly zinc free.
