What oil do you use and why?

Dino oil I use Havoline , synthetic I use MObil 1, a friend who has been rebuilding engines for 30 years recomended Havoline years ago and it has worked great for me!
 
Another RLI Bio-Syn user...just got the UOA for our Accord 4cyl., 8,300 miles on the oil. Outstanding results: Virtually no metals wear; viscosity held up well; handled the Honda fuel dilution problem well; virtually no moisture. Very fine performing oil in our engine, a real credit to the potential of vegetable oils and the fine chemistry developed by Bill Garmier.



It's well worth having Terry Dyson at Dyson Analysis do a UOA for you, highly recommend him.
 
I run Esso XD-3 0w30 in my Maxima. Excellent value and great results from UOAs. I had run Mobil1 SuperSyn 5w30 before but prefer the heavier viscosity of the Esso.



I run whatever is cheapest (dino 10w30) when it's time for an oil change on my Probe. It leaks oil so it doesn't make sense to use fancy dinos.
