Courtesy Imports, while expensive, has never done me wrong. You can probably get the price down if you skip a lot of the extraneous items (various inspections, etc.). Both Bryce & Todd (service advisors) are good guys who don't try to pull any crap.

There is the possibility that you do it yourself, also.

Mobil 1 was fine at 5k miles according to the analysises that i did. (was doing analysis every 1k miles). That being said, would i run it to 5k again? probably not, but if i did have to run it up to 5k i wouldnt be to worried. If your running amsoil you could probably feel pretty dang comfy at 5k miles.

Im currently running Motul 300V because its free, and its a decent oil. Amsoil is good stuff too.

not bad if it's free

I'm going to send out for oil analysis on my e-85 Evo RS when it hits 5k miles, only problem is I have only drove it 3k miles in 1 year

I use it on my drag car exclusively, after some dyno time and a few runs at the track I drained it and it still looked clear. That pretty much sold me on using it on my street car, and now my diesel truck which gained 2mpg after switching.
