High mileage synthetic. Car isn't terribly high on miles, but I'd rather be safe. Previous owner left some things in less than stellar condition.

Mobil 1 Full Sythethic --- only thing that I've used in my car. I've been the only owner so it's gonna stay that way.

How long do you go with out changing your oil? I have heard that if you use synthetic you can go longer with out changing it. If thats even true lol.

synthetic is pretty standard these days. penzoil platinum, castrol Syntec and Mobil 1 are about the same. I have had all analyzed in my car after 4-5k and penzoil held up the best. You dont need royal purple or amsoil. For most cars it doesnt matter. I am pushing 350 HP so i run synthetic, but you cant beat Castrol GTX for most cars
