Re: oil
Anything 5w30 that's full synthetic. I use Mobil 1 and my wife uses Castrol Syntec.

Re: oil
Agree w/Mean Green. I get the 5-quart jugs of Mobil 1 at WalMart - perfect for a change and cheaper than 5 individual quarts.

Re: oil
if you're always in warm weather go with 10w30... if you're in all seasons get 5w30...
and they're right... go full synthetic: castrol syntec (especially the german stuff) and mobil 1 are good.

Re: oil
I use Mobil1 in all my cars and never have had a problem. You should use synthetic in any turbo because of heat and high reving.

Re: oil
Glad the search feature worked for me this time. I was wondering about the synthetic oil. Now I know. Any favorite oil filter brands? I heard something about Fram filters being a pretty poor choice due to their construction. Thoughts?

Re: oil
k&n and mobil 1 are good filters...
i decided to go with a 0w-40 mobil 1 oil - i'm in a cold climate but produce quite a bit of heat...

Re: oil
Yup. I read a study where a guy bough all brands of oil filters, then cut them open to see how they were made. Compared the type and amount of filter medium, the construction of the bypass valve - cardboard!, plastic, and metal...
anyway, Mobil1 & K&N were the best. Fram "regular" were the worst. The Fram "extra guard" was not as bad. Purolator was a good filter at less cost than the Mobil 1 or K&N.

Re: oil
Thanks for the quick replies. I read that Jiffy Lube isn't the way to go. I guess their synthetic is some sort of "recycled" product. Anyone had issues with Valvoline Rapid Oil change? It's going to start to get cold here soon and I dont' have an insulated garage. That and it's right down the street from my house. Just curious if anyone dealt with their full synthetic.
