I use Mobil 1 [10W-30] (and always have since it first came out). I use Fram's Double Guard Oil Filter.

Read this then decide what's best for you.

I change every 10k, sound pretty scary but 10 years from now everyone will be doing the same.

Do a search, plenty of info about oils on this board.

Oil and filter

I use Mobil 1 5w - 30 and Purolator PureOne PL14459 oil filter. A great combination in my opinion.

I've found that most dealers use Kendall oil that they obtain in (large) bulk.

I had a friend that was a Kendall dealer and he said his biggest client were dealer repair shops. Ask your dealer what they use - it may not be what you assume.
