Default What oil do you all run?

As per the thread title: what oil do you run?

Please state:

1) Car
2) Engine
3) Mileage
4) Brand of Oil/Filter

Also, if you feel so inclined, please state why you use one specific type of oil.

Me:

1) 1995 EX Coupe
2) D16Z6
3) ~160k
4) 10W30 Quaker State High Mileage w/ Purolator Filter

Because my engine has quite a few miles, it tends to burn a bit of oil and have some valve noise. I find that the high mileage formula tends to make the car run smoother with less blow-by.
