[s-cars] On the use of Synthetic oils.. And high end filters.

[LL - NY]

This one is a simple one. Change the oil as you normally would,
only using your prefered synthetic and the appropriate Mann?Mahle or
OEM filter. As for oils, not to start a thread but it appears a majority
of this list finds Mobil 1 perfectly acceptable, well priced (at Wallymart)
and easily accessed. There are others (Shell Rotella synth, Amsoil,
RedLine, Royal Purple) that are also acceptable to better than, and
each has their own take on why they use those oils. I personally use
M1 and have no fears.
