What oil do you use with your engine?

[NuroMancer]

I'll add the oils I see to the poll as I go.

The other question I had was, do you pick a different oil depending on the engine?

I know the new BMW's require Synthetic but I was wondering what oil should I put in my 5.2 V8 (91kilometer) engine.

Thanks!

I use havoline... have for years. My dad worked in the lab for Texaco for years, and I saw the testing they put that stuff through, as well as the comparison charts for other manufacturers. I'll use havoline for the forseeable future.

I'm using the 5000 mile conventional, I'll probably switch to the 15,000 mile full synth at the next interval and run it for a year.

I have a turbocharger and the dealer uses Pennzoil 5w30.
I asked why they dont use synthetic and they said it isnt require.
I've also heard engines over 100k shouldnt be using synthetic.
