I have used Mobil 1, Castrol Edge and RP. I felt most comfortable with Castrol in the car. The engine made more noise when hot outside with the RP that did not make me feel comfortable with it.

Royal Purple Synthetic SAE 5W - 30, best in my opinion, with a K/N Filter.

i picked up 5 quarts of royal purple and was given a free mobil1 filter since they didn't have k&n filters available, which is what the special is supposed to be for over at autozone. i made them order me one and i will be back in the morning to get another 5 quarts and the k&n filter though.

In case you didn't know... Mobil 1 filters and K&N filters have the exact same synthetic blend filtering media inside and are made by Champion Labs. They are some of the better filters available, but there are better ones out there.
