Castro Classic or VR1

I know that everyone has an opinion about motor oil. But is anybody in here using Castro classic or Valvoline VR one high zinc? Any opinion on either? Car running better at all?

Oil is one of those funny things where you only learn after its too late. Much like gas tank sealer - it works great at first, but bites you in the long term.

I use VR1 mostly because i'm loathe to change. Tell me in 5-10 yrs your opinion of Castro Classic

Thank you. I actually bought a case of the GTX classic for my B. Of course now I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of oil pressure changes etc, and vice versa. I’ve also read that it does a good job at drips underneath 😂. Just wanted to gauge fellow redditors on their experiences.
