    Switching from 10W30 to 20W50

What is the concensus on the best brand of non synthetic oil? Maybe I should change brands. I had used Castrol 10w30 in my '94...

    Oil dirty after a couple hundred miles

    When I bought my '97 Wrangler TJ,2.5 4 banger, it had 92,000 miles. Oil was black, but no sludge. I changed the oil and filter and checked the oil after about 200 miles and it was black. I changed the oil and filter after 2,500 miles, check it at about 150 miles and again the oil was black...
