Hi all,
I'll be getting an oil change this month, any recommendations? I dont know much about cars, but I do want to maintain it well and have it for the long haul
Mobil 1 94001 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
mobil 1 10w-30 advanced full synthentic
or something else? I cant seem to find specifications on whats required except for this link which says semi synthetic

you should get off the computer and go to your local auto parts chain (autozone, oreilly, advanced auto, napa) and pick up the door flyer to see what's on sale.
Then buy any 5w-30 full synthetic or package deal that is on sale.
While things on amazon may seem good, they pale in comparison to sales you get locally. It is ridiculous to ship a box filled with quarts of oil around the country.
If you want more info, visit bobistheoilguy they have a subforum where people post out the sales, and what maybe hot.
Also, you said you are "getting an oil change" meaning you aren't doing it yourself.
Have you done the math to just see how much they will still charge you when you bring in your own oil? Often you may find your garage maybe reluctant to reduce prices by much just because you brought your own oil.
