Temp/pressure and oil age would be much more revealing, but I doubt many people monitor these parameters.
An oil brand bitching isn't going to be very useful TBH.

This is Not about oil brand bitching it is just to find out what oil and grade was used!

you need to make sure people only reply if they think their engine failure was oil related.
Engine failures are more commonaly causes by abuse, maf, or poor modifications.
Some people might not know and then start blaming the oil for the sake of it.
