Last 13 years Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic, summer and winter. Just switched to Mobil 1 oil filters. Last 13 years have also been using magnets on the filter and in the oil pan. They catch a lot of microscopic metal particles. I'll always use them.

Quaker State 10W30 has always been in my car. Ever since day one. Then I switched to k&n oil filter. Runs fine with this combo.
