What Kind of oil do you use?

What Kind of oil do you use in your M3?

Mobil 1, and for an M3 you should never use anything other then synthetic, because its a high performance engine

Id say Amsoil is a pretty good substitute thats what I use. I think more people use Mobil because of its availibility, pretty much every retail store carries Mobil but I have yet to see a walmart, target, etc, carry Amsoil
