Cost aside, what oil would you use?

I already do.
I use Motorcraft in the Ford 5.4 because of availability and warranty required 5,000 mi OCI. I have not seen anything better for that OCI in that engine.
I use Castrol Syntec OW-30 in the GM 2.2 OHV because it sees 70 mi round trip commute every day with 10,000 mi OCI. Again I have not seen anything better for this use.
I used Redline 10w30 in the Corvette LS1 because it spent lots of time at the Drags, Auto-X and Track Days at Road Atlanta. Can I proove this was better than any other Synthetic? No, but it gave me peace of mind.

Cosworth,Elf,Motul,Amsoil,Greddy Or Pure Performance.
Amsoil
price not a consideration, AMSOIL with a bypass filter (I like the remote witht dual filter setup one full and one bypass)
It's even worse when you buy oil and tools on the same trip
Two jugs of Pennzoil Platinum and a 138 piece socket and wrench set on my last trip (socket/wrench set was $100 off - couldn't let that deal pass)
Pennzoil 5W20
I would bet in real life all the top syn oils are about the same, Like the top petroleum oils are about the same, look at the used oil analysis. Sorry guys that I am not brand loyal .If it works it works.
1) Something from MolaKule
2) Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic

1. Amsoil 10W30
2. Redline 10W30
3. Mobil 1 10W30

It would be fun to use some of the boutique oils. I've had good results with M1, although I've recently been using PP. It would be fun to try Motul and Elf, one of the realy costly Redlines, and so on. None of these oils would hurt any engine, and variety, as they used to say, is the spice of life.

Because that's what I prefer for my VW 1.8T engine.
1) Redline 5W-20
2) Mobil 1 0W-20
3) Royal Purple 5W-20

Looks like AMSOIL is the leader here. I have a question that has been on my mind a long time. With all the degradation to MOBIL 1, I have to wonder if the EP has been a group lll sense day one and if so, what did they do to it to highly advertize 15,000 mile changes? I keep thinking IF this is possible, then all the type 3 syn's will do the same. Go easy on me. Things just don't make sense to me.

Well that depends... There are certainly Synthetics available I would be a bit leary of at Porsche's 20,000 mi OCI.
