Default Good oil for my stang?

I was wondering what you all thought was the best oil for Mustangs?Is valvoline better for stangs then penzoil, as in example?

Also, can you tell a difference between your avg. oil and high quality oil in your stang, as in car performance, smoothness, etc?

Synthetics work better than mineral oils. Brand loyalty is an open can of worms

Thats like asking which you like better, coke or pepsi. I don't think your car would make any performance gains because of the oil you use.

find a fully synthetic. like mobil1 or royal purple. i use mobil1.
castrol or whatever is NOT fully synthetic. It has polymers in it, but also has dino oil.
not as good as fully synthetic.

I will say no more than this. Use the weight that theowners manual uses and Go full synthetic. Now I use Castrol Full Syn.

Im not tofamilar on different oils, or terms. Explain what the difference is between your common oil and full synthetic? Also, what exactly does the full synthetic do that your common oil does not?
