I have no particular reason for staying with Pennzoil except that I am a creature of habit regarding things such as this. I had a 'not stellar' experience with a different oil once (I think it was a 20W-50) that seemed to negatively affect the engine performance and fuel economy so I decided to stay with what I know works. I have considered going to Rotella, in fact I think that I did once, but am concerned that the oil weight may affect things negatively so I'll stay with something in the 10W-X range. I guess I could say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The Mobil 1's price surprised me and that's why I am going with it this time.
I am also planning a trip next month in a competitive IBR style rally that is 60 hours in duration so I want the oil to be able to go the distance.

Sadly I've hardly ridden at all this year
I rode about 5,000 miles earlier this year doing another competitive rally that went from Jan 1 thru May 26.
