Mobil 1 5-30. Run it in every vehicle I own. 1997 Suburban has 230k on it. Have ran Mobil 1 5w-30 for 10 years with no problems.

I've got 260k miles...using 5/30 Mobil Super High Mileage. With this many miles, I couldn't justify the synthetic cost when I'm doing oil changes every 3k miles. Nope, never waited for the oil change message.

137k AMSOIL XL 5W-30 Synthetic with Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter (through research I've picked it out as the most fitting and highest performing oil filters out there) every 6k miles of course I could go 10k but I don't like the sound of changing it every 10... If I were to go any other route I would definitely stick with Mobil 1 5w30 for sure.

Redline 5W-30 and a k&n filter. Change about every 5k miles and comes out pretty damn clean. Id use castrol if I had to go to a local auto store.

Valvoline 5w30 high Milage synthetic blend with a generic auto part store filter. Just as long as you keep up with your oil changes it shouldn't matter too much

I've had good luck bringing my own oil and filter to an oil change place and they do the change. They usually charge me around $20 for the labor. Sometimes that's worth it to me and other times i change it in my garage...
