oils high in zinc and phosphorous is what you want if you want your car for a long time. amsoil z rod has done me well as a daily driver and on a road course. I am amused by folks who are not willing to spend a tad more on oil for a 40 k car. Amsoil is not hard to get its just not at autozone. they have dealers around the country and also sell via internet and snail mail. there are 15 amsoil dealers located within 20 miles of me.

Several years ago I searched for recommendations on the best oil filter I could find and it led to Amsoil products. I'll admit, I was somewhat unaware of Amsoil, but the more I use the filters and oil, the more impressed I am. Pushing 8 quarts of oil through these small filters, I want the best protection I can get. You can purchase it directly from Amsoil for a discount, but there are many local dealers including some NAPA stores. Along with premium gas, if your going to spend a couple extra bucks on your car put it in the life-blood - the oil.
