Default What Kind of Oil Do You Use?

What kind of oil do you most often use in the engine of your Integra Type R? No arguments for one or another, just vote please.

heres what i use:

shell synth 5w40 - during winter
mobil synth 15w50 - tried that an will not use it again, their new formula shows lower pressure
switched to castrol synth 20w50 until i find something else for the summer or just stick with that.

I'm running Mobil1 5w30 or (Blue cap)
I ran Mobil1 15w50 on track events, but I keep hearing bad things about running that oil. It worked fine for me, when I used it though.

castrol gtx 5w30. only burns about 1/4 quart every oil change for normal driving with occasional vtec. haven't tracked the car, but even with my spurts of driving agressively or the autocross, i have never burned more than 1/2 quart.

Shes been getting fed 5W30 Mobil Synthetic all her life.

Up until a few days ago that is, looks like it'll be 5W30 Motul 300v from here on out, with considerable change intervals of course
