I'd pick from this list of real synthetics:
-Castrol Syntec 0W-30 (make sure it says Made in Germany/ACEA A3; sold at AutoZone)
-Mobil 1 0W-40
-Mobil 1 5W-40 (also known as Delvac 1 5W-40)
-Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30
-Amsoil Series 3000 5W-30
As others have noted, xW-30 weights of Mobil 1 do not carry the A3 rating, which means the oil will provide improve protection.
I've used M1 0W-40 in the past, currently using the German Castrol, and will try Delvac 1 this summer. So far I like the German Castrol better than M1 0W-40; the engine feels smoother with less lag.
