Question What oil to use

What does everyony recommend for oil weight in their rx7? I have been hearing that you should use nothing but 20w50. What do you say?

20-50.

If you live in an area where it drops below zero, 10-40 but only for the winder months.

EDIT: Let me add Castrol GTX is by far the best 20-50.
