Default Which oil do you use

There are many to choose from, so which one do you use and why?

As always, if the one you use is not listed post it and I will amend the poll to include it.

I've heard something about "earth friendly" oil grades that can cause some MAJOR problems. Certain viscosity combinations in all brands have a "star" type rating instead of the normal circle. Anyone know anything about this?
