Redline 10w30 full synthetic if I know I'm going to beat the piss out of it for the next 5k miles (think autocross or mountain runs), otherwise I use Honda 10w30 full synthetic.
Pros: good for autocross
Mileage: 5000 km

I do not use auto oil. Motorcycles run hotter and I don’t trust car oil. I use Red Line. They sell a V-Twin kit that has engine oil primary oil and transmission oil, and fuel system cleaner. I buy one each spring.
Redline 5w30, the best
Pros: best performance
Vehicle:
Infiniti G
If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.
Pros: guaranteed lifter tick prevention
Cons: can be expensive
It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo
Pros: motor runs flawless
Cons: pricey
Vehicle:
Nissan
Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.
Pros: high quality, doesn't overheat
Vehicle:
BMW
I also switched to a 50 weight, Redline.
I was seeing moderate oil consumption and the heavier viscosity seems to have fixed that issue
Pros: fixed oil consumption
The best oil to use is the RedLine full synthetic two-stroke Racing oil. Modern full synthetic two stroke oils are way better than older oils and work great.
Pros: works great, way better
Vehicle:
Saab
Red Line products go in all my cars. AMSoil and Motul also quite good.
Pros: quite good
Vehicle:
BMW
I use redline hp 5w30 for my n54. 7500 mi intervals. I’m at 113k miles currently. At about 90k I send my oil off to blackstone for an oil analysis. Came back in very good shape and they indicated I could easily go to a 10k mi interval.
Pros: very good shape
Mileage: 181126 km
