keep it full synthetic, sure it'll cost ya a bit more, but its worth it im my opinion. like IrockA.. i use mobil1 5w30 and a mobil1 filter.

if you wanna go a bit more crazy, you can do royal purple, its about $7 a qt.

I have been running Mobil 1 in my G along with running Mobil 1 in my 2000 Chrysler 300M that currently has 107K miles on it. My 300M has not had any issues (major or minor) at all with it! I change the full syn oil every 7.5-8K miles.

I recently had a local automotive tire and repair shop open a location next to the business that I am the GM of. The GM of the tire shop came by and brought me a few free oil change tickets. One of the tickets was for a full syn change that I was going to use on my G, but decided to use on my 300M. I asked for Mobil 1 full syn, but the shop only had Quaker State full syn. They changed the oil and I noticed instantly that my 300M felt more racy and responsive with the Quaker State full syn over the M1. I am going to switch over to the Quaker State on my next oil change for my G. I will be moving from dino oil on my wifes '08 Acura TL to full syn on her second oil change (next). The brand on the full syn will be based on how my G responds to the Quaker State.
