Oil change time - Oil Options?

I have been running Mobile1 in my engine since the day I bought it. Its pretty pricey when it comes to changing the oil. Its time again. Any advice on alternatives?

I have been running Valvoline SynPower Full Synthetic in my S60R since the day i got it. Hell, if it is good enough for the koenigsegg CCX, it is good enough for the SR.

Quaker State full synthetic. Notice no difference from the Mobil1 and it's about $6 less for 5 qt.

Im running Q 'TORQUE ' 10w40 as its hard to find that weight in full synth. and I got it for $2 a qt. Cant beat that !!

O,Forgot to mention it was on sale @ PEPBOYS.Was supposed to be $3.89
10w40 is supposed to be really good for turbo cars and higher mile cars.

And about MOBIL 1,from what Ive read on many sites its not even full synth anymore.
