Where the hell is Castrol Syntec on this poll? Still haven't found the European Formula 0w-30, but the Syntec 10w-30 has been good to me for 2 years now.

I use Syntec mostly. My last change was as well I believe. I ran it in my previous cars too.

I've never used it in my car. But I usually see German Castrol 0-w30 at Autozone.

5W-30. Whatever high quality oil is on sale (High quality being defined as made by a NASCAR, NHRA or IHRA sponsor -- i.e., just about anybody).

AMSOIL 5-30, and Lucas Synthetic oil stabilizer. I have used this combo in my cars for the last 6 years.

Penzoil Platinum 10w30. It really helped with the cold morning piston slap. Much quieter then the GC and M1 I had tried before.

Mobil 1 5w-30...with Mobil 1 filter.

If I had a brand new car, and more money, I'd use German Catrol or maybe Amsoil.
