Castrol Formula R for me (20/50) . I like the idea of synthetic, but engine builders recommend against using it with solid roller lifters. Too little friction keeps the roller lifters from "rolling" - they just slide over the camshaft lobes. Not good...

I've had my oil to 265 degrees F and it maintained perfect oil pressure.
