I use Pennzoil Ultra 10w30. I live in AZ, where it tends to get hot, and the 10w works well for me.

Mobil 1 0W-30. I've heard of Eneos and it's been highly suggested by a few of my mechanic buddies, so I might have to give it a try soon.

Another vote for Mobil 1, 5W-30; probably not critical (good arguments available for any quality oil, dino or syn, as long as oil changes performed regularly and at reasonable intervals) but it's a small extra expense relative to what we spent on our cars. That said, I've been using it in all my vehicles for 20+ years.
