stand back...another oil debate!

All of you oil experts, back me up on this:

Pennsylvania oils (Quaker State, Pennzoil) are "parafin" based and are notorious sludge builders if not kept on a strict maintenance schedule.

Texas oils (Castrol, Havoline, Kendall) are "asphalt" based and tend to be much cleaner but break down a little quicker. They too must be kept to a strict maintenance schedule.

As for me, synthetic all the way. I figure, the entire engine is "synthetic", why put fermented mud in it?

Mobil-1 10W-30 for both of my BB's.
