Best Synthetic Oil to use?

did a search but didnt find much...so i was wondering what everyone on here would recommend for synthetic oil on the G35 coupes.. Ive always used Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec on my previous cars. Someone told me to use Quaker State and im not very familiar with Q state..so what do you think?

Really? I think this has been discussed quite a bit. Lots of Mobil1 users on here, I prefer Amsoil.

Or penzoil plat. I recently got a few 5qt containers from Walmart. Some Mobil users have been complaining about oil usage. I'll try this to see if it makes a diff.

Even plain ol'e dino Castrol 5w30 has tested out pretty damn good.

Forgot about PP 5w-30, thats what I used last change, burned about 1/2qt in 3k, not too bad. Have Mobil1 5w-30 in it now, we'll see how much it burns this time around

Red Line FTW! Royal Purple is not a true synthetic. This is like the 100th thread about this. Do a search and you'll find the other 200 pages about oil.
