I've been running 20-50 Castrol for decades. Then they changed the 
formulations to make catalytic converters last longer.  3 years ago the 
flat tappet cam in my Ford 302 engine went flat requiring replacement of 
both the cam & lifters.  2 years ago the cam in my TR3's engine got 
replaced because of severe pitting.  I only use oil with ZDDP any more.  
Like others I have switched to Valvoline VR1, except I'm running the 
synthetic stuff.
