Which Motor Oil?

Which motor oil do you use in your Lancer?
Do you use fully synthetic?
I am thinking of using Shell Ulta 5W-40 which is fully synthetic. Woudl this be fine to use in my car? (1.8L N/A)

Cheers

Why are you so hooked up on the Shell? I personally would not use it or their petrol for that matter. Mobil 1 is supposedly the best oil, and as far as petrol goes BP Ultimate I have found is the best as it has a 98 guaranteed Octane level. I want something I can depend upon.

Mobil 1.

I use 15-50 in my M3-motored ti, and it holds up great!

I agree. After I did the engine conversion on my Lancer, I switch to Mobil 1 and have never looked back.
