The Joe Gibbs product seems to be very good. That said, I have been using BP almost since I got my car in 2002. I had to get a top end done to my car about 1-2 years ago with 160,000 miles. when the motor was apart, other than the damage to my piton and head due to a screw getting into it, the internals looked excellent and minimal evidence of wear. To me, anyway, BP 20W-50 looks to be the correct product for my use.
