    I use just about any regular or synthetic oil for my non-turbo Miata, whatever I have on my oil shelf. Synthetic for my commuter since I rack-up mileage on it like crazy and have no time to change the oil. And Motul 5100 ester/ synthetic oil on my Sportbike.

    I've become a fan of amsoil products, though previously I used royal purple. Always full synthetic

    I have had good luck with Rotella T5 SynBlend.
    had several BPs with stuck rings that T5 seemed to cure.
    Priced right too at $16 a gallon.

    Rotella T6 full synthetic.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
