What engine oil does everyone use?

So far I've always been using the Mobil 1 synthetic that's recommended. Has anyone tried any different type of oil? I've got to do an oil change this weekend, and I'm just curious what everyone else uses.

There aren't very many oils that meet the GM standard to maintain warranty, so most people have stayed away from other brands.

I plan on switching to Valvoline synthetic at my next oil change. I've used Valvoline in all my street and race cars, and it's always been good to me.

Well, since Mobil 1 seems to be the "lightest" oil, I'll just keep using it.
