I can believe this hasn't been discussed ad nauseum, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. Time to change oil. Any suggestions as to which oil to use?

I Royal Purple Racing Series (21 or 41) when I want the best oil possible. Both are detergent and rated for use on street engines, but have significantly more of their additive package than normal RP. Also use Mobil 1 0w40 and Delvac 1 5w40- both are excellent oils respectively, and Delvac is the cheapest synthetic around for it's quality, which is on par with Mobil 1. There are some rare and hard to find alternatives that are equally good like Castrol 5w60 and Motul 5w60, but at 15-20 dollars a quart, they are out of my price range for a daily driver. But then again, BWM M3s come with the stuff from the factory to combat high oil temps and thermal breakdown, so it's got to be good!
