A used oil analysis (UOA) is the only way to know for sure. Blackstone Labs, costs $25. Although I have not tried Royal Purple, a lot of people here use it, of the oils I have sent in to be tested from all of my family's cars the lowest wear metals I got came with Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic.
My .02:
Best oil -- Pennzoil Platinum
Best oil for the money -- Motorcraft
That being said, in this Trac I run Mobil 1 0w-30 Advanced Fuel Economy because it needs all the help it can get. UOA's are fine.

I used to rebuild engines quite often, so I got to see inside all types. You could always tell a quaker state oil.. it was gummed up with lots of crap inside. I am supprized that anyone uses that stuff.. it is the worse oil in the world.. in my oppinion.
all other oils are acceptable.
Dino oil, change every 3 to5 k
synthic oil change 5 to 10 k...
Rule of thumb, (water is the maker of Sludge) .. if you drive more at first crank,.. change at longer intervals.. shorter miles on first crank.. change more often..
