Which brand and weight you guys running, after the break in process? My car is mostly Street with some track time.

I don't want anybody to laugh, but I use Walmart 85W140 synthetic. It's only like $9 per quart and it's made by a major oil company.

I'm breaking mine in on 80/90 dino oil. Should I go with a 85w140 afterwards?
