Terbow Fellas; what oil do YOU use?
I have used Castrol since I was born. In my first Mustang, my 2 CRX's, my dads CRX, and up until now my blown ZC Hatch. I am thinking about a change though. I have been using Castrol Syntec 10w-30, and this is going to be my first oil change since the turbo (~48k on motor, blown for almost 1k now). What oil do you guys use, and what would you suggest for me?

I love Mobil 1, it never breaks down. I am, however, using Castrol GTX 20w50 right now, because I was having some issues with my oil pan and I didn't feel like dumping $5/qt oil all over the streets

Re: Terbow Fellas; what oil do YOU use? (not so civic)
I was thinking of going w/ Mobil 1 15w/50. On the bottle it says "Race Formula"....W00t W00t; but on the 10w/30 Mobil 1 bottle it says "Higher Mileage engines" 
Would you guys suggest the Mobil 15w/50 (I'm in FL BTW, hot as hell down here) for it, or stick w/ the lighter 10w/30?

Castrol RS synthetic 0W-30, it makes my car really fast.. but oil runs out quicker than others.. and its one of the more expensive oils here.. so probably gonna move to the cheaper Mobil1 synthetic..
