The question is, "What oil do you use?" not, "What beverage do you drink after a romp in your backseat?"

I've been pretty happy with the MOBIL 1 10W30 and MOBIL 1 oil filter combo. I don't think this is entirely off-topic but I'm a bit concerned that the MOBIL 1 oil filter is smaller than the factory filter... I'm a fairly spirited driver when the opportunity presents itself so I don't really see the need to go with anything different than the factory recommended oil. Though I kind of question the filter.

EDIT:

My definition of spirited driving:

Freeway off/on-ramps that loop around where you can heel-toe coming into the turn and stay on boost mid corner and sling-shot at 70+ MPH depending on how tight the turn is.

That 120+ MPH excursions passing that guy in the foxbody when he gives you the disgusted look then down shifts and tries to pull away... Or anything remotely similar to that...

by getting an oil change other then the dealership, will not void your warrenty.

many members do their own work. i change my oil in my garage. taking your car to any place that can change oil is ok
