I lived in Texas for 40-years and this just proves to me what I have always known. Some Texans are just smarter than others.
Funny thing the boss said at work.

I remember looking at a post in Passenger Car Oils, and one poster guessed that since Pennzoil is one of the most common oils used at oil change centers and auto repair shops, that it increases the odds that someone who doesn't change their oil enough will use it.
The other theory was that because Pennzoil was common, and in the 1970s, badly designed smog devices and PCV systems filled engines with abnormally high sludge, PZ took the blame, when in fact, unreliable smog devices pushed the oil well beyond what it was meant to do.

My Suburban was a mid 90's model, not 1970's. Don't know what else could sludge up an engine other than parafin based oils, which is what PZ was until about 8-9 years ago, or that is what the mechanic explained to me who replaced the engine. Doesn't matter...there are so many good oils and I use syn anyway. Everyone can use whatever they see fit.

But are they spotless inside? That's a major reason I run M1, is due to the cleanliness that seems to be inherent with it's use, and hence the point I made.
