Having said that (and will all due respect to the very knowledgeable people on this board): Religion, Politics, and Brand of Oil. You'll never change someone's mind.
I'm not against Brad Penn oil--and I'm sure it's great--but I wouldn't know a quart of it if I had two girls oil wrestling in a kiddie pool full of it in my front yard. Never seen the stuff, can't get it anywhere in Austin, and frankly having to special order oil over the internet doesn't save me a dime when they charge $25+ to ship a case (on top of waiting 10 days for it to show up). When Brad Penn finds its way to Austin, I will be first in line. Til then, this $9 a bottle full synthetic Royal Purple will have to do.
