oil

I use Mobil 1 5w30 in all my vehicles. change every 5k. I believe it has better start up protection against galling if your vehicle sits a long time. At one time GM oil engineers considered it the best oil in NA and Shell Helix in Europe. Still factory fill in Corvette, SRX, etc.

There are several oil caps available with the Mobil 1 emblem depending on what model engine you have.

I have always used Valvoline on all my vehicles. Once they hit 75k I switch over to Valvoline high mileage. It is a synthetic blend.

Not really sure why I am so Valvoline loyal....just what my entire family has always used.

I have recently been using an oil additive in my Yukon xl and my Scion xb...I have convinced myself that it is helping.

2007 yukon xl 80k Valvoline high mileage with XL oil additive every 5-7k miles
2005 scion xb 165k Valvoline high mileage with Marvel Mystery Oil every 5-7k miles
