What oil should I use?

Hey guys just wondering your thoughts on the best brand of oil to use for my B16B, or B-series in general, as well as weight/viscosity?

I have Castrol synthetic right now...I'm thinking about Royal purple :thinking:

I've always preferred quality, conventional "dino-juice" (e.g., Pennzoil) in the factory-recommended 5W-30.

Definately Mobil1 synthetic if your wallet can take it.

If not, some Castrol dino-oil is great too.

wtf i'm pretty sure that's not the right viscosity for honda motors. Reccomended is 5W30 but i usually go with 10 in the summers.
