^that was below the belt.....lol

Just get it at Auto Zone/Advanced/O'Reilly's. They all usually have some sort of special going on. I usually buy my oil from Auto Zone when they have a 5 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic and a Mobil 1 oil filter (which is usually $10-12) all for I think $26.99.

Just make sure that you get 5W-30 SYNTHETIC oil. You can always pay more for the higher quality Royal Purple, Eneos, (etc.) motor oil.

Recommended viscosity is listed in your owners manual. I love that little book.
