mobil 1 is wut i always use. ya i changed to a K&N this oil change and i feel a differnece. car seems to rev a little faster and makes it easier to downshift. i think the car runs under more compression though. and getting a little off track, when i worked at autozone over the summer, a kid bought his oil change stuff and got a K&N filter. 2 days later, his oil was sitting on his driveway lol. it all leaked outa his oil pan gasket.

i got ma a special from autozone when they had a synthetic oil special. it cost me 40 bux for the stuff. i think it's like 5.89 a quart. not too sure. i usually go to walmart and get two 4 quart jugs. and i usually use 10w30 but im not an oil specialist.
