Default what type of motor oil is best

What is the most recommended motor oil on a B18B1 engine? Any suggestions? I am currently using Fully synthetic Castrol 5w/30 oil. Any input would be appreciated thanks!

It's really personal preference. What I use is Castro Edge, Valvoline, and Mobil 1 Extended performance. Hope this help
