I use Kirkland Supreme Ultra Virgin Organic Olive Oil.
Any extra left over from the oil change I use for a killer vinagerette

There is a very similar ranking available from Molekule on "Bob is the oil Guy". I have some of the tech/acedemic credentials for tribology -just enough to concede I am way under qualified to dispute anything 540RAT or Molakule write.
This exam humbled me:

Porsche don't rank their approved oils for specific performance criteria. It would be interesting to read anything Porsche write about shear/temperature/foaming for street cars. I mention this because the O.P. want the absolute 'best' oil.
