Re: Synthetic Oil Question



I use just regular Castrol oil, the dealer where I get the oil change 
seems to switch to different grade of oil according to the season. I just 
get the oil change every 3,000 miles. It's only $19.95 including OEM 
filter at the dealer, even cheaper than these cheap oil change places.
