Default Oil

I was just wondering if using certain oil is better and makes the engine last longer. How often should i change my oil and which oil is the best to use? Can anyone tell me the best oil and filter to use for my 93 gt and how often to change it? is every 3k miles good enuf or is it better to change it even less miles?

Oil doesn't even begin to break down for a good 10k miles... I change between 3-5, but make sure to check it often on a high mileage car as thay tend to burn a little oil.. Don't want to get low. I use Castrol High mileage 10W/30, and a fram... It is a waste to pay for the K&N.. An air filter is one thing, but the oil filter is a whole other ball game.
