Valvoline SynPower 10w-30 the best synthetic oil you can get from a retail store. It is dyno tested to actually improve performance(Super Street). The engine definately runs better and faster with it in there. I raced my friends VR-4 before the oil, and after the oil and the change was dramatic! Defintely recommend it.

Amsoil 10W 30. Car feels smoother, revs easier, either that or it is all in my head.

I wouldn't trust super street for information as their "opinion" is heavily biased by their advertisement, the same goes with many other magazines that do "tests." Oil is oil, you just need to change it frequently if it's off the shelf non-synthetic and if it's synthetic, you can run it longer with out worrying about the oil breaking down.

btw, I use redline.
