Post What engine oil do you run?

I'm sure this topic has been here 1,000 times before, but I am curious as to what oils everyone runs.

I just finished a swap, and I want to do my 500 mile oil change with the oil my car will bleed for the rest of the time it is in my ownership.
(I was debating Royal Purple vs. Mobile 1)

So without further ab due, what engine oil is best for a daily driver?

Go!

Always ran castrol but that is for no reason at all besides they are always on sale for 5 quarts and a filter for like $15.

True that, standard or synthetic?

I have always been weary on running synthetic, so I'm basically stuck in a rut haha

Full synthetic Castrol made in Germany... yes there is a major difference in where its made. The stuff made in Germany is almost exact to Redline which has been proven through several test, not biased test, real scientific data to be the best oil out there.
