Heck, it varies from service to service. I go to the same dealer every time, and they've used 4 different brands for 5 changes. Mobil, Pennziol, Castrol, and Havoline if I remember right.

I have used 5W30 and 5W50 depending on availability, but have avoided the '50' in the winter months.
I stick with the OEM filter.

I don't want be a thread hijacker (I'll post another thread if wanted), but I have question for those of you who do you own oil changes, where do you get the drain plug washer and how often do you change it.
I use AMSOIL 5W30. I will recommend anyone to NOT go over 5k of miles with Mobil 1 because tests have shown on this engine it basically falls apart after 5k. Amsoil you are safe for more than 5k.
