Between the late '90s Consumer Reports oil test on NYC taxis and bobstheoilguy.com, I don't change the oil any more often that what the manual says and have been using Walmart Supertech oil (and filters) in my vehicles for 15+ years. Some deviation every now and then to STP or Valvoline depending on circumstances. Brand name = brand name $$$ with an negligle increase in protection.
There's probably all sorts of lab test results that show a difference in oils and maybe even filters - but when it comes to the real world...I don't think it matters. Just look for the SAE seal on the oil and go on.
I'll probably go with the COSTCO synthetic if the WM or STP is not around, unless there's a sale on Mobil1 or one of the other name brands.
