i've used castrol synthetic or mobil 1. however, a new dealer opened near me and they've been offering $12 oil changes so i've been rocking those 2 oil changes in a row.

Q high performance from quaker state. I noticed my engine ran a smidge cooler and I actually gave a small amount of hp on a dyno. I ran bone stock wiht a K&N oem air filter and the q oil and made more hp than an identical car with a cai and cat-back.
