What kind of motor oil do you use?

[J'sMz3]

not a bad price, i just looked it up. Any reason why your doing the heavier weight then 5w20? the MS3's and MS6's are standard 5w30.... just curious.

The reason I went with the 5w30 is a little added wear protection/ peace of mind (whether necessary or not). Living in Colorado I get a lot of uphill-downhill traveling, also get into the mountains quite a bit during the summer and I have to admit... I drive the car pretty hard at times. I haven't seen any drop In my fuel economy since switching at 14,000mi

yea i figured the drop in climate and road conditions.... Cool stuff, yeah since its thicker/heavier i would anticipate the drop in mpg as well.

Amsoil

The only difference you'll notice with Amsoil is lighter feeling you get in your wallet! Most every major manufacturer of oil products makes a good and acceptable synthetic. Go for price!
