Napa gold filter and Amsoil 10w30 will be my next oil change. Been running Amsoil 5w30 and stock filter to date. The 10w30 seems to hold up better, and the Napa filter is a pretty nice solid (relatively) cheap filter.

I am going to change my oil tomorrow. And need a few suggestions being that I can't get a response in the Oil analysts thread and I am not a rocket scientist nor do I understand the stuff that is in the thread. What are people suggesting Oil and Filter.... Any perks of one over the other. I daily drive the car and I live in Florida.

Just changed mine to GC (German Castrol) 0W-30 and M1 filter (M1-110); my g/f's previous G seemed to like this combination and it still seems favorable according to other oil threads though I am not entirely sure about the filter as I haven't read much about it.

I use Pennzoil synthetic 5w-30 every 2500 miles with purolator filter. shouldnt really matter just do oil changes regularly and you'll be set

edit: I drive my car 160 miles a day. hence why I do such frequent oil changes. im obsessed with maintenance

go to autozone. get the German made Castrol Syntec 0w30. pick up a mobile 1 filter, usually they will have a combo sale on those two products. your HR will love you for it.

Alright lol If you say so. But if it doesn't love me I am going to make sure your Z doesn't have run flatts lol J/K lol. I am hoping for 13.00 this weds keeping fingers crossed I read the oil itself adds hp.

Im not that ignorant but my turn signal fluid has been low.

^^^ I always used to go to Autozone and buy GC (only place that had it) there but then I wandered into a Pep Boys last week and they, too, are now carrying GC it seems.

As I was doing my oil change, something came to mind. Didn't GC used to have a greenish color to it?

You were the guy who was in Autozone like 10 minutes before us. My buddy was looking for oil for the 330, and his friends roommate works there and was like "wtf is everyone's obsession with this oil?"

We however needed heavier weight do to a certain heat source we are installing.

Never been, maybe this week. Trying to get my buddies car fired and I'm the wiring guy on the project (gauges, meth, boost controller, etc) so if his car is done I'll be there. If not, I'll be making sure my wiring is good.
