Of course I'm going to say AMSOIL.

In the past I have tried Mobil one, German Castrol Syntec, Red Line and Royal Purple, which were all decent oils I just like the AMSOIL more.

I would recommend it. I used to have red, but then I went to green because most of my red leaked out due to a faulty hose in the middle of the night. Now I want to go back to red, but I don't want to flush my entire system... again.
