What kind of oil do you use?

Hahaha
I was looking under my hood today, saw my oil cap that says Mobil 1 5W-30 and thought to myself, it's been a while since anyone started a "What kind of oil do you use" thread....
Hahahahahahahahha
There's like a million of these, so here is 1 million 1 .

I use Mobil 1 5W-30
Of course at my last oil change, they had a bunch of diffrent kinds of Mobil 1 5W-30, I forgot what. Like high milage, and some other kind. Dont know if any of them are any good though.

Have fun!

I've got a question about this actually. I've been a big backer for Valvoline Full Synthetic since I started driving. I saw the cap says Mobil 1 though. How much does it matter? I didn't know if there is any potential performance difference, or if Mobil 1 simply bought the rights to the cap from GM.

no diffrence.

Ive been around racing motors for years. there has been absolutley no diffrence in bearing wear between pennzoil/mobil1/and joe gibbs oil in our SBC. none. its just alot of price diffrence.
