What oil do you use?

And I don't mean rather you use synthetic or not, I mean what brand, etc do you put into your car - or do you just go to the dealership and tell them regular or synthetic thus not sure what exactly they put in it?

Mobil 1 5W 30 and filter every 3-5k miles. I buy my own oil at Target on the way to the dealer. I think it costs about 4 bucks a quart in the store. The dealer charges 10!!

What I use and when...............

Like most of you I use Mobil 1 Synthetic but 10/30.
Plus I use K&N filters and change both every 2K
miles.....I know overkill but that's just me.
