Valvoline AllFleet is one oil I used a LOT of when in "the business".
Also used a lot of Shell - Rotella on the farm, fleet, and industrial
equipment and their premium normal oil (can't remember the name any
more) on a lot of other vehicles.
Also used a lot of HAvoline, Gastrol GTX, and Kendall GT1.
Never much of a fan of Quaker State or Penzoil.
