RE: oil question
I've heard people using a higher weight of oil when going synthetic, like 5-30 or 10-30. Any specific reason for this? I have a 21k miles 04GT and im using Castrol 5-20 and was thinking of moving it up to 5-30 or possibly 10-30. I live in Oregon so extreme temps are not an issue.

If extreme temps are not an issue just stick with the 5-20. I have been buying royal purple at O'reilly's auto parts, but going to go back to buying online......its a little cheaper that a parts store.

RE: oil question
I use castorl syntec blend. But it doesn't really matter what type of oil you use, as long as it's the correct weight for your climate and you change it regularly(depending on how you drive).

I have bought 2 cases from Karl Racing. They are 6.42 a quart, or 76.99 a case. Last time I bought a case it was about 5.40 a quart. Royal Purple went up at the first of this year[:@]
