Anyone have successes or failures with particular brands and grades? Did one oil seem better than another? Anyone using fully synthetic or are you sticking with semi-synthetic? Let me know. I'd like to see a nice solid thread with useful oil information. Thanks guys.

Any brand of full syn 5W30 or 0W30... I always look for API-SN spec ... makes no difference what brand... I do occasionally use mineral but only SN or SM spec ... I purchase whatever is on special... My '98 has 375,000km on the clock and runs like new.....
