...So you guys say 7,500 miles is the correct change mileage?
Once again, you'll get answers all over the board. IMO, 7.5k mile oil changes when using a quality synthetic and quality filter is conservative but if you do a lot of stop-and-go and short trips, then 7.5kis probably areasonable mileage (but still conservative in IMO).

Oh boy, here we go again. You're going to get recommendations on everything from A-Z. Most people seem to use the Ford Motorcraft filter and a 5w-20 full synthetic like Mobil 1 (what I use), Royal Purple, Amsoil, Castrol, or any othe rof the name brands.

It is all you need and it is available everywhere.
BTW, what ever you or anyone else chooses for a filter... stay away from the grocery store auto isle as all you will find there is Fram! OMG! did I just say that?

Royal Purple hands down! I just picked it up locally, $6.49qt for 5W-20, so the guys saying it's not worth the money....it's comparably priced.
I really like Royal Purple. I run it in my race bike...but have not switched for my car yet (not even close to the first change). Good company and seems like a great product.

Did you get it at a chain store for that price?
