I usually buy Pennzoil, it's inexpensive and it works. I check the contents first to make sure the oil isn't full of gunk in case someone swapped it. I do oil change every 5k km, which is once every 2-3 months, hence I don't worry much about too much gunk as I flush it out often.

Pros: inexpensive, it works

Cons: check for gunk

Mileage: 5000 km
