What oil are you guys using

I am wondering what oil you guys are using, grade weight as well. My car lives on the rev limiter, has for the past 3 years, it has all the regular bolt on mods. I am limited to Mobil 1, royal purple, and quakerstate. Or some weird Germany oil for twice as much. I am currently using the Mobil 1, but not sure if I am using the right weight. Thanks

Re: What oil are you guys using

Im using Quakerstate high rpm synthetic blend...in 20w-50. I got the high rpm for my b16, I dunno if it helps but I feel a little better.

Re: What oil are you guys using

I had 10w-30, until I realised that right in the service manual, it states that it is not a good oil for the temperature range in florida....
