Default Oil for your motor's

I'm not sure what type of oil most of you guys use but after having a bad Turbo I searched to see what I can do to prevent an issue as well as to what we can get in Hawaii. Look at the below thread to get a 101 on oil.

I will be using Mobil1 0W-40 from now on.

For NA seems like the Pennzoil Platinum 10W-30 is one of the best options but I recently learned it is bad for F/I.

Royal purple blows after Sonic mentioned it I looked into it and was amazed on how bad it is for Forced Induction.
