Hello, Any oil is fine, as long as you follow the recommended oil change.

Snythetic oils seems to be a better choice and longer periods between oil change.

Mobil one makes one the is 5000 miles and 15,000 miles between oil changes.

Check your manual for the proper weights of oil. Very easy to do. The oil drain plug use a washer that may need to be change with ever oil change (sometimes not needed to be replace). Cost is under a dollar.

I had a friend that change oil every month....but he was different! ..........Aloha

Dont Wait 15k To Change Your Oil, First Off Your Filter Wont Last That Long, Second Theres Some Pretty Good Threads About This Already, You Should Search For Them

i agree with ricer!!!!! 5k is about as long as i will wait.....
