I've been running the Mobil 1 Euro 0W-40
Darth said he likes the Castrol Titanium so thought I'd give it a try. As expected with most quality motor oil... no issues.

Joe Gibbs BR30 for break-in. (500 miles)
Joe GIBBS non synthetic (2500 miles)
Then a quality name brand synthetic. (I usually try and run a 0W40 for summer and a 0W30 in winter)
I use oil testing to determine the interval and type, and whether I think the brand is doing its job. Usually @ 6K miles.

Many people put down Amsoil because of price. Well you get what you pay for. BUT.... Many don't know that Amsoil has 3 levels of oil. OE, XL and Signature Series. If you're one of those die-hard every 3,000 mile guys, The OE oil is perfect for you. Even the Amsoil OE oil exceeds the top other oils in protection. It's just not recommended for longer OCI's beyond 8k miles due to less detergents. And at under $8 a qt, (retail) that's hard to beat. The XL is about the same price as Mobil 1, Rotella etc. Sig Series is only a few $ more than OE. (with a preferred customer acct, you get it even cheaper and I can help you with that)
Just don't think that Amsoil is only one single type of expensive oil.

There's no information to go on to make a recommendation.
Is it a stock bottom end or built?
If built, rod and main bearing clearances?
Max rpm?
NA, boost, or nitrous?
Street, strip, mixed, etc...?
Approximate annual mileage?
Does it see long-term storage?
What cam and valvetrain?
Without that information, no recommendation can be made. It would be like playing chess in the dark.
