motor oil...
well when i bought the car, the guy had all the paper-work from his changes and it was all 5w20, and every 4cyl i have ever owned took 5w20, so i didnt even check the manual and had no clue and just went with it. MAN DO I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. Im glad i asked u guys andthanks for pointing out my stupidity...im changing the oil today and was considering trying royal purple. i have heard so many mixed reviews, but well see.......
DAMN IM DUMB.....

I just got my third Oil Analysis back a couple weeks ago, this is with RP 10-30 w/3K intervals. Almost zero material wear and will quote from Blacklab "RP is working for you, I wouldn't change a thing".
This motor has been running RP for the past 10K miles, before that M1 10-30 for the first 18K and had Rod Knock. Bearings replaced (Rod and Crank) along with polishing the crank, under warrenty. Car was completely stock, after warrenty had it tuned and started using RP.

Pay attention if the oil meets API SL or SM, ACEA A3/B3/B4, HTHS>3,5 , TBN>10, viscosity index>160, FULL synthetic please.
If the oil meets the MB229.5 is good indication of the quality too.
The best oils in my opinion: Geman Castrol 0W30 and Mobil1 0W40
