Mobil1 ! My reasoning is this. It comes in Porsche's and Corvettes from the factory, then it's good enough for my car! It's the only oil I will use, and it has never let me down!!

At the moment I'm using Castrol Syntec, but would have no qualms about using Mobil 1.
You can probably go further safely, but I change mine at 4-5k (with a Nissan filter).

Mobil 1 5w30 and use either the Mobil 1 oil filter or the Purolator Pure One...Those are the 2 best oil filters for synthetic oil ...Castrol has been known to breakdown much faster than the Mobil 1 ..

Talking Mobil Oil or ?

Castrol oil was great in the 70s but today your best bet is
Mobil Synthetic. I ran factory oil for the first 700 miles and then
replaced it with Mobil 1 and a K & N filter. I usually replace my
oil every 2000 miles. If your using an aftermarked air filter like a
K & N keep your eye on the color of the oil (look for dirt).

every 2000miles on synthetic? hey its your money, but you know you could go longer than that right. u guys must not be using your car a lot, coz 2K miles is less than 2months for me!
