Default Best Dino Oil? List the dino oil that you use.

What is the best dino oil to use? I used mobil 1 in my new prelude and I think the car began to burn oil. I did a search but found mostly syn oil not dino.

If you use dino oil list the one that you use.

I'll only use Castrol. Unless someday I take the plunge and change over to synthetic.

I always "feel" the oil when I'm draining it. Rub it between my fingers checking for sponginess and viscosity. Products checked before castrol felt like water. The castrol feels much better IMO.
