Just curious, as many peoples opinions on oil vary.........

What brand/weight do you use?
What filter do you use?
Full or Synthetic?
If Synthetic, at how many miles did you change over?
How often do you do an oil change?

-Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10w30
-Ampsoil Filter
-Synthetic
-7,500
-3,000mi

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

-Mobil 1 Synthetic 10w30
-Purolator Filter
-Unknown - Previous owner converted to full synthetic
6,000 miles

I used to use 5w30 but my oil kept burning away and I had to top off my oil quite often. Now it isn't as much of a problem anymore when I switched to 10w30. What a difference.

- Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w30

- OEM filter

- Switched to synthetic at 60K miles

- every 3-5k miles depending on how lazy I am

Note: In almost every case I've seen the OEM filters work MUCH better than the Fram/Purolator filters... I would highly recommend everyone using OEM filters.
