Hey, Welcome!

10w-30 Castrol, but use Mobil 1 if you can. The previous owner in my car had been using organic, so I had to stick with it.

Welcome to the forum. Castrol GTX is the oil of choice for me.

RE: what oil are you guy's using
 

Definatly Mobile 1 for me.

Just make sure you use the weight that is recomended by the factory. I got my '04 just a few months ago, and the dealer made it very clear that if I use the wrong weight oil, it would void the warrenty... not sure if that's true, but I won't chance it...

Well according to the oil cap 04 should us 5w-30 but the owners manuel does say you can us 10w-30 as well depending on the time of the year >>> I personal use castrol GTX ran it in the 91 for 8 years and never had a bit of trouble out of it

i run 3 quarts valvoline and 2 quarts lucas heavy duty stabilizer. keeps metal parts lubed a thousand times longer than conventional oil, plus eliminates dry starts,even after a month or so! my girlfriends dad couldnt get the slickness of the stuff off his wrench for over a month! but it might not be under warranty specs, but it sure as hell has my vote. i use 10w-30

Waste of money StangTangGT.

Any brand synthetic oil will help avoid dry-starts.

I use Castrol synthetics. Last fill I used Texaco Synthetics.
