Default What type of oil should I use?

Up until this point I have just been using regular oil whenever I get my oil changes. This needs to end. Someone help me.

Stock 2002 GT.

I've never had any problems with Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec but they are a little pricey. I also use Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, all 5-20 as it calls for. I know most guys hate the place but I've run into some real good sales at Wal-mart on all 3 of these, good luck.

From what I understand synthetic oil is leaps and bounds ahead of regular dino.
