After going over the Synthetic/non-synthetic info in the forum I'm currently using Mobil 1 15w50. Generally OEM filters. Reading with interest the info on plugs and wires as that's on my "to do" list.

If you don't, you'll have a really hard time removing siezed plugs from the rotor housing. Don't overdo it though.

Oh, yeah? My mechanic can kick your mechanic's butt. LOL! Just playing with ya.

I never said I changed it that frequently, I'm too lazy. I change it around the 2,500-3,000 interval. But the cost of regular oil $1.50 (approx.) and synthetic $4.00 (approx.). Not gonna really break the bank, but is the extra money really worth it? My opinon...no. Your opinon...yes. So let's just leave it at that.

I have used many brands of 20w/50, ngk plugs and all different brands of oil filters. Why? Because if aint broken why fix it......90+ original miles and still pulling strong
