Gotta chime in with the "there is no BEST oil" camp.

There are too many variables. Manufacturers spec-and better- are what you want. "Better" here means takes even higher temps or is rated for longer oil change intervals.

I use Mobil1 0W-40 European Formula. They tell me it's a "true synthetic" (group IV) made from polyalphaolifin compounds not hydro-cracked petroleum (group III)

It met the requirements for turbocharged engines in the family. It's so uniformly praised I just rolled into using it in my non-turboed V70's.
