M1 10w30 Full Synthetic and an ACDELCO filter(I live in GA and dont need to run a 5 series)...I cut open the acdelco filter after my fist start up on the new motor (20 minutes run time) and it had gotten all the metal out from the initial start up..the second oil change (75 miles) we did there was no metal in that filter whatsoever..I find it does the job well enough and I stay away from the FRAM stuff after everyone says they have some issues....I never had any personal issues with them but some folks say they have a habit of imploding from pressure..dont know how true that is.

Mobil One Full synthetic 10w30 with AcDelco filter. Change every 3000 miles I don't trust going 6000 on any oil or filter. Plus I do a lot of in town driving so just to be on the safe side.

German Castrol 0w-30 and Wix filter. If your going to use penzoil only use penzoil platinum. It has shown to be a very good performing oil.
