I run Walmart Supertech full synthetic in both cars, 5w30 or 10w30.
Are you sure that's a good idea? My (used to be) step dad who is a mechanic had my mom get off Supertech immediately when she told him what she was using. Why? sludge. He said of the car engines he's pulled apart in 20 years of doing it, Cars running pennzoil are one of the worst, even though it is a well known brand. He said that Supertech is even worse than that by far, and said that if you're going to go with a similar alternative to pennzoil if your using penzoil is valvoline, because the engines ran on that were a lot cleaner. He also added that supertech might be real cheap and sound ok, but the money saved from not having to have your engine rebuilt because it's running so bad from all the sludge will make up for it. I run Mobil 1 though. A lot more expensive, but it doesn't go under that whole Wal-mart Fall-Apart deal.

Nice rides btw. You got some nice pickin's for $300 and $200. I wish I had your eyes and luck.
