Penzoil/ Quakerstate 5w-30. Although, I've started putting 10w-30 in it for the summer now. After 173K+ miles, I figured it was time to change the regimine! I've also started 'playing' with the so-called 'high-mileage' formulas. Don't know what I'll gain from them. It seemed like a good thing to do at this point since I don't wanna buy a new engine!

Urk! ack! Forgot to mention...try these guys out: Titan Laboratories. Got some one-time kits at Kmart a while back, don't think they sell them anymore. Anyway, GREAT value for the cost! You send in a 4oz sample of used oil with a small fill-in report on where it's from & what it started as, they run it through the tests, and you get both lab-level and a dumbed-down version either in the mail or over the web (maybe both, not sure).

be careful with that, i put in the mobil extended 5000 mile oil and after 4500 miles the oil had become a stinky black sludge, not good at all, i don't trust it, just stick with mobil 1 synthetic

mikec your oil did that because you might be burning oil. I run mobil 1 15,000 mile oil. Giving it a try and seeing what happens. I check it every month and it still looks good and every bit is in there that i put in.

Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic 5w30. Little more expensive, but after 3k miles it's still gold, and it actually made a noticeable difference in gas mileage.

Royal Purple 5w-30 in z24 and royal purple 10w-30 in either camaro. I travel about a 100 miles to and from work daily, so I need oil that last longer than the 3-5000 mile intervals. RP is awesome, but expensive.
