bought my car... got home, put it on ramps drained oil. New OEM filter and Mobil 1 10w-30... every 2500-3000 OEM filter and Mobil 1. I hear that Royal Purple is pretty good too, if someone else has used that, tell me what you think.

seems like a lot of you are running 5w-30. i am currently running 10w-30 because thats what the manual says.are you just doing that becasue of the cold weather and does it make that much of a difference?

it's a preference thing really imo. although 5w-30 lets the engine rev a little faster then 10w-30 in cold weather.
