Red face Oil change time.. which oil?

Just wondering what you guys use? I just recently used in the 240SX, Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic and it runs great. The car has 57,000 miles.

Thanks

Your car will run fine on any oil that meets the specs as long as you change it at a correct interval depending on the type of driving you do.
