yup alot of different answers. Its just a matter of opinion but no matter what make sure its a synthetic. I run amsoil full synthetic. According to tests and research this is the best oil.

What this guy said, use the 0w30 sig series and have great oil test. Do some research and find it one of the top oils, I wouldnt put royal purple motor oil in any of my cars. Also pennzoil platnium is a great oil for a great price.
