Castrol Syntec 5W50 - I like the weight and personal preference I guess.

Mobil 1 5W30
I just switched at my 25,000 mile service. I read the article mentioned below as well as other posts on this forum. Based on that info, it seemed like synthetics are the way to go.

Mobil 1 10w30
Why? Have used it in everything from street to race engines and have had no problems that I could blame on the oil itself, so I figured it would work fine for my TT also.
