Default Creating a Macro For Shading Rows - Or Should I Use Conditional Formatting?

Sub foo()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = ActiveSheet
iLastRow = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If wks.Cells(i, 3).Value = "OH" Then
wks.Rows(i).EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Assumes that OH will appear in column C

I have a spreadsheet that I need to shade. Usually I do this manually,
but it's 3000 lines long, and doing this every time I run the report
is extremely time consuming.

Basically, the spreadsheet is listing the On Hand units and Sold Units
for different styles of belts by sizes. It looks something like this:

Style ID Size Total
8C0303 80 OH 0
8C0303 80 Sold 0
8C0303 80 OH 3
8C0303 80 Sold 0
8C0303 85 OH 0
8C0303 85 Sold 0
8C0303 85 OH 5
8C0303 85 Sold 2
8C0303 90 OH 0
8C0303 90 Sold 0
8C0303 95 OH 0
8C0303 95 Sold 0
8C0303 OH 8
8C0303 Sold 2
total oh 16
total sold 4

I would like to Shade all rows that show OH units so that the
spreadsheet is easier to read. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your
help!

Best,
