I don't think I've ever read that anyone uses it on one of these "Which Oil," threads (which should probably make me nervous), but I've been using Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and have no complaints.
Sineo you need to get that crap Pennzoil out of there, Pennzoil uses perafin wax (candle wax) in their oil which over time can be really bad for your engine.
I know old school mechaincs that would rather run water than pennzoil.

I use Lucas fluids now. Have not had any problems. I used Amsoil 1 time and will never use it again. At 6k my car was 3qt low on oil with no leaks... Still have no clue where it all went. I just knew to get it out of the 2JZ as fast as possible. So much for the 25k oil change. lol Knew it was to good to be true. Now they said I need to add or something half way through but my car did not even make it that far. I still have 3qts of Amsoil if anyone wants them? 5 bucks plus shipping. So I stick to Lucas oils now.
