I just use Mobil 1 5W-30 Full Synthetic because it's cheap at Costco.

Default More of a volatility index

tends to help w/the oil vapor problem and carbon build up we can experience.

Low NOACK is good (below 10)
Avg NOACK is around 11-15
Bad NOACK is anything above 15

Redline, Amsoil, Pennzoil Plat. are the quality oils with lower NOACK scores. I blv M1 5w30 is around 10. If one could find old Pennzoil Ultra that would be even better with a NOACK of 6.6.
