I use Mobil 1 10/30 all year with an AC/Delco filter. 108k miles on the clock. Only have a slight rear main leak, no big deal. Fixed intake leak at around 95k.

Seems that Mobil 1 rules the roost here!!

I have 105K on my '93 and use mobil 1 5w30. Doesnt loose any oil at all. mobil 1 is the way to go.

I have also used valvoline synthetic and like that one just as much.

I run Quaker State semi synthetic 10w-30, I dont buy in the the Mobil 1 frenzy. From tests I've seen it is somewhere around .05% better in bearing swear scar tests than my $2.25qt stuff.

Quaker State has a good rep and puts out good numbers in ash content, flash point etc
