From what I've read online, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 is a solid option that you can find at most retailers.
Pros: solid option
Vehicle:

I'm one of those "risk takers" that went with Motul 5w40 X-Cess. The oil has been fine as far as I can tell but I'm no expert.
Pros: oil has been fine
Vehicle:
Subaru
The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.
Pros: trace metals normal range
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 12500 km
I tried Motul 7100 oil, man that thing is awesome, but expensive. Lasted be 1800miles before change
Pros: awesome, but expensive
Cons: expensive
Motul every 10k for over 200k miles @486whp. Oil tests every other change. Now I do 5k or every 3 track events/races.
Pros: long lasting, high performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 200000 km
I use Valvoline XLIII and it works great and not terribly expensive.
Pros: works great, not expensive

Mobil 5w-40 has absolutely been quieter for me than the Castrol equivalent.
