Which Oil Do You Guys Use?
I recently put in Mobil1 10W-30 and was wondering which weights and brand you guys were using. I hear a lot of people are using 5W-30... Should I switch to 5W-30 next time or just stay with 10W-30? Thanks.

I've heard Mobil 1 0-40W is good. But, I do only have 1200 miles on my car, and still have yet to decide on what oil to put in my car...might even just let the dealer do the oil change?!?!

Just do the oil change yourself... it's really easy and should take 20 min or less after you get used to it. Just buy an oil filter socket and a pair of Rhino ramps and you should be good to go. I let the dealer do the changes until now but I'm planning to do it myself from now on.

I use Castrol Syntec 5W30 and like it.

If you can time the oil changes to when the weather changes 10w 30 spring summer and 5w30 fall/winter 5w is good to 0 10w is something like -30F
