Like the title, what do you use? I went from 10w-30, up to a 15w-50 for my last one, and it made me sick when i started it up and started driving it, so laggy, i hated it. Next change will be right to what the oil cap says on it, 5W-30. And of course, synthetic, i don't put normal mortor oil or mix's in my car.

I use Mobil Drive-Clean 10W40 in my car. I may switch to Mobil1 full synthetic soon, but I'm not sure...my engine, like most AE101 4A-GEs, burns a small amount of oil(like a fifth of a quart every 800-1,000 miles), and I'm not sure if synthetic would make that worse because it can penetrate where regular oil can't.
