Change mine too frequently to worry about buying $5 quarts of oil.

conventional, whatever the local oil change place uses

USED to use Mobile1 synthetic, but still change it every 3k miles....too expensive for me to do that these days

I use conventional oil. valvoline, penzoil, or kendall..depends on what we have at the shop. switching to synthetic in an older vehicle doesnt always work. my father put synthetic in a 2000 suburban with 90000 miles on it and it burned the oil real bad. as soon as we put conventional oil back in it quit burning oil. if you do decide to switch just keep an eye on it...

conventional. i aint going to pay more for oil if its not a race car with a high performance engine or semi built decent engine. conventional is fine
