Oil recommendations
Just wondering which brands and what grades most of you guys run and what you think about them. Info on oil filters would be appreciated, too. I drive my car in the middle...don't rag it, but don't drive it conservitably. It has just turned 50K miles.

Mobil 1 5w30. The weight was at the advice of one of the best mechanics I know, guess the mod motors like it light. Heck the Snake takes 5w20.
Filter, I would try a K&N oil filter. Hear the Frams are crap, but that's what I've run for years, so I'm shopping for a new one too.

I agree, I run full synthetic mobile 1 5w30, and my car seems to like this one the best out of all the ones I've tried.

The Pure One filter should be easy enough to find...
It's available at all of our local parts places... But the synthetic oil and the Pure One are not cheap... Probably $5 or $6 a quart for the oil and $6 for the filter... |

I have 2002 GT with around 4500, should I switch to synthetic now, or did my car come stock with it? I used synthetic in my other car, switched at 53K miles, should i switch now?

Mine takes exactly 6 quarts everytime...
I usually fill up to 5-1/2 first, check it and then add the last 1/2 quart. |
