OIL

[Humdingah]

I think the general consensus is that ANY oil changed regularly performs just fine. Even $1.25/quart dino oil changed every 3,000 miles will work fine...synthetic provides some minor improvements in lubrication (as seen by numerous dyno tests that show an increase when synthetic is added) and more resistance to wear and oil breakdown (hence the 7,500+ mile oil change intervals you see).

As far as filters...I've heard that Fram is junk and there are several write-ups on the web that would support this.

For the record, I use Mobil 1 and AC-Delco filters and change it every 3,000 miles religiously.
