Currently running Quaker State Horse Power full synth. If I'm not using that, I normally run Castrol GTX.
My previous preference for my old Pontiac Sunbird was Rotella 15W40. Started good in the winter, and pulled out an incredible 36 mpg highway pounding on it during the summer.

Been using Amsoil in my last three vehicles and I'm pleased with the results.

Amsoil exclusively. Go to amsoil website and check out their tests (done by and independent lab). They can also do an oil analysis that will give you a heads up of any engine problems before they become critical. Have been running amsoil in everything I own for 3 or 4 years. Not expensive at all if you use the extended drain intervals. They have oil and filters for everything you own. I became a believer when a guy introduced it to me to run in my jet ski. 2-stroke engines are very prone to engine damage from cheap oil. I disabled the oil injection so I could pre-mix my oil and run it much leaner, which made better throttle response and higher revs. In small two strokes they recommend 100:1 mix ratio. I have run that for three years in my string trimmer and my chain saw. Try that with any other oil!

I have run Havoline through the years in Gas. Valvoline Max Life in my 88 Mustang. Been running Rotella Synthetic going to the Valvoline Extreme Blue Diesel on next change.
Did not know that Castrol was a BP product. Camping World Dumps Castrol Press Release 6-7-10 Camping World, America’s largest recreational vehicle retailer and RV maintenance and repair provider, announced today its decision to terminate a long-standing relationship with BP’s Castrol Oil, effective immediately. This decision is based on BP’s oil release that has resulted in the catastrophe off the Gulf Coast, according to a news release. “We at Camping World are saddened by the impact the disaster has had on the communities we serve,” said Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of the Lincolnshire, Ill.-based retailer. “We consider BP’s behavior irresponsible and wish to sever our relationship. BP’s Castrol Oil will no longer be offered at any Camping World location nationwide.” Camping World will deplete their remaining inventory of BP’s Castrol Oil products and donate the proceeds to helping in the disaster-relief efforts. The company is currently in discussions with several leading product providers to replace the significant category of their service and repair business. Camping World expects to name a replacement provider in the coming weeks.
