Funny, I was just about to make an oil post. Since I put the SC on I use mobil 1 530. Before that I used whatever was on sale.

Someone told me yesterday that when mobil 1 came out in the 70's it was a 10,000 mile oil. Anyone else heard this?

you can accomplish that with an 02GT that hasn't had an oil change in a long time and adding just about any new oil to it
