Small FCP Euro order for my next oil change in the Sportwagen with HPL secret sauce.

My latest acquisition is 18 quarts of HPL, 12 PCMO and 6 of one of their Premium blends. I don't know exactly which one as it was a gift and I just remember Dave using the word Premium. For now, I'm done buying oil. This acquisition along with the Mobil1 that I have on hand should last me for about four-five years. I guess I'm officially a hoarder now.
Which grade?
 
Was at WM yesterday getting treats for the dog. Walked across the store for a gallon of the ST "fart" washer fluid, turned the corner down the oil aisle and WHOA! Full shelves! Just happened to be there while the guy was re-stocking the shelves. Selection overload. I wasn't there for oil but purchased one, 5qt. container of Pennzoil Platinum 5w30, my preferred brand.
 
Picked up six 5L Supertech 0W20 oil as inventory was getting low for MDX and Mazda3 which uses this grade. SP rating at $19.77 CAD or $15.40 USD. Back to 14 jugs for all oil inventory for our fleet. Heading out to US next week so I shall check out WM for their offerings for oil and filters.

Mobil SS 5w30 for our friend's ‘03 Corolla. She's a single aunt who's raising her niece, so just doing a little bit to help her out with free oil changes. I change it every 5k for her. I throw in a fuel system cleaner for good measure, since I don't know what gas she typically runs.

Great Choice! Mobil Super Synthetic Oil is hard to find now…. I stocked up a couple years ago with 30qts. 5w30.

What makes Mobil SS a great choice? Price? Availability? Comparative quality?

My understanding is that it's Mobil's lower-tier, entry-level synthetic. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that, it just seems that there are many better quality oils available.
