Default Recommended Oil

I was wondering what type of oil most people are using in their S2000's? I recently bought a 2005 and am new to the group. Thanks.

5w30 syn oil. mobil 1 works, penzoil (what I'm currently running) and any of the 'expensive' oils are all good.

If you run any syn you're golden. The motor was build to run on regular oil so the added protection of syn cannot hurt
