Hi,
You cannot go wrong with Mobil 1 fully Synthetic Oil every 5,000 miles.
As for grade of Mobil 1 oil, you'll get a lot of arguments. I
personally recommend either 5w30 or 0w40.
10w30 and 0w30 are fine too. 15w50 will cut into your MPG figures.
Don't mess with other synthetics such as Castrol, which is semi-synth
labelled as synthetic. Redline, Amsoil or Motul will cost more than
Mobil 1 but are top-quality synthetic oils.
If you go 90 days without hitting 5,000 miles, you can just switch
out the oil filter.
If this were 9-5 BB, the fur would start to fly right about now.
I'm hoping we can avoid an ugly motor oil holy war on General BB. :-)
thanks
Jae
