ive always ran pennzoil. ranger has 160,000 , the wifes S-blazer has 187,000 (with 220,000 on the engine) run regular dino in both, oddly enough the ranger is a little harder on oil usage, that or its leaking more from the drivers side valve cover than i realize... ive ran pz high-milage before in the ranger but never really noticed any differance. i change oil about 3,000-4,000 in both vehicles, its usually every 6 months, i think that as long as your engine is getting up to proper temperature and the oil gets changed when its needed, its not going to matter too much what kind or type you use. i have switched to synthetic before and back again, didnt cause any issues...
