Oil is really a personal preference. A lot of people use Mobil 1. Though I have recently found out it is no longer "Fully Synthetic" as it claims to be, as they have changed the base to a regular dino oil. Royal purple is also another popular oil, though it's quite $$$. I've decided to use Penzoil Platinum Synthetic at my next oil change per some recommendations here on AZ, and is cheaper than Mobil 1. Oil is oil, and it'll protect your engine with proper maintenance.

Yes, yes it is. Apparently it's up there with Creationism vs. Evolution.

I forgot what it was called, but it's $50 for 5 quarts. Enzoil or something?

Anyways, for my personal preference, I like Amsoil, Royal Purple, and Red Line. BUT, I use Castrol more times than not. (just easier to come by)
