Default Which engine oil do you use?

Hey guys, just wondering what brand of engine oil everyone uses? I'm looking for a good quality oil that will help clean my internals. I bought my 04 used and have no previous history so I'm want to start helping it last longer.

The place I like for changes runs valvoline. But I'm not tied to anything.

I hear pennzoil (sp?) full synthetic is awesome.... I want to start running full syn but my last oil change was "free" when I purchased my new wheels/tires/brakes/rotors and they used regular 5w20 dino oil. I am more than likely making the switch my next oil change to the Penn 5W30 fully synthetic oil.
