I work at Advance Auto and the best oil to use is Mobil 1 Synthetic. I myself use Valvoline SynPower 5w30 due to the fact that it was buy one get one free at the time. I've run it ever since and I like it. But my other friends use Mobil 1 Synthetic. But for regular oil...I like Castrol GTX.

I guess I'll be the first to find out about that. So far over 2 years and 71k miles later the discoloration when I change the oil looks good so the 'puter is working too. *knock on head*

Wife tell me I'm too trusting............
