I have 67,000 miles. I live in the South. What weight oil should I be using?
Just want some opinions on this. I've had my car for five months and I'm about to put some oil in it. It's not my daily driver, although I am 3000 over the recommended 3000 miles per oil change. Mileage snuck up on me while I was taking my time doing something to my other car. Anyway, this is the first oil change and I don't know what they had in it previously. What else do I need to make a decision? Temperatures are high in the summer and they can be around freezing early in the morning in the winter. I'm not a rough driver. I try not to take it over 3500 RPM.

Oh, and I'm sorry for this thread. I know that for sure this has to have been answered before, but I couldn't find an exact answer.

several other conditions must have changed to see a gain like that.

I have always used 5W-30 Mobil 1. My interval is 5000 miles but I'm sure you can go longer with synthetic. I also have 67000 miles
We broke the record high temp in Raleigh by 9 degrees yesterday. More of the same today and tomorrow with highs of 80. These will break not only daily records but monthly records as well.
