I use Castrol Syntec, 10W30. When you use synthetics, you don't need a heavier oil, since a 30 weight synthetic will protect better than a 50 weight dino oil anyway.

I think I'm going to use Redline 10w30 for the summers though, since I do some much racing.

Mobil1 0W-30. It flows the easiest at start up and protects like all the other 30 weight oils when hot. Since it is synthetic, it is no more prone to break down than the others either and still protects at hotter tempetures than regular 10W-30 oil, so it is not too thin.
