I use 10w-30 Mobil One Tri-Synth, though many disagree...

I use Royal Purple 10W30 full synthetic

I've used Mobil 1 20W-50 for many years... Wonderful stuff.

Currently, I'm running Mobil 1 5W-30. However, I'll be switching to Royal Purple 10W-40 in about 700 miles.

I strongly recommend the use of synthetics.

Mobil 1 10W-30 ever since I got the car in the summer of'99 with 99k miles on it.
I've used other stuff but it makes the car feel sluggish.

I use Mobil Drive Clean Blend. It is their synthetic blend. The owner before me used full synthetic which caused it to leak oil from everywhere! This spring I will finish stopping the leaks with a new oil pan gasket and front main seal.

Glad to see some people using synthetics besides me! I leak too, but only from my turbo seal. Remember the synthetic oil doesn't actually CAUSE the leak, it just cleans all the sludge and varnish off your old seals, revealing leakyness that was there to begin with.

I also use Mobil synthetic blend 10w-30. And yes I did use Mobil 1 when I had Kenny's mx-6, and it started leaking like a whore after I did that. That's why I'm afraid to use it on my car, since it dosent leak anything.
