What kind of Oil is everyone using

[nando]

of course it does.. whatever you do don't use fram.

Why not Fram? I've heard this before, but no one has ever given any reason why, just that "they suck". I'd be interested in seeing some test results to verify why they are an inferior filter.

Mobil 1 10w-30 in the summer, 5w-30 in the winter. I'd also use Castrol.

because they are made horribly. I know this first hand, one of my jobs was QC in an engine shop and I got to take apart oil filters. they are made of cheap paper and glue that can come apart. it's just not worth it.

Little late here but I have tried a few different combos on this car and my old Eta and I am sticking with Valvoline 20w50 and a K&N filter

I see a few of you are running the K&N filters. Are these made with the same cotton gauze median that their air filters are made of?

Excellent read. Thank you.

My only problem with the K&N is it's ridiculously high price. It's twice what a Mobil 1 filter costs: ~$12. I won't buy another.
