, is it worth it?
oil change?
in a word...yes
dont get me wrong though, its a want it dont need it situation. but you do want it.
any (reputable) synthetic will do you fine, but royal purple is worth it. it just works better from what ive heard in reviews. and im a user of it personally, ive never had a problem, so thats enough for me

German Castrol 0w-30 from autozone rates high as does Penzoil Platinum. If you run GC make sure you see the MADE IN GERMANY on the back of the bottle. There is a MADE IN USA version but it's not the same thing. I run PP and just buy a big jug from Wally world for $20 + pour in another half qt. Did it last night!

Agreed, & the best advice in this thread. No to the RP. Visit Bobistheoilguy to learn just about anything you need to know & more, about oil.

Actually, choosing oil is about reading "oil change analysis" reports posted by others whom have used a particular oil in the same engine, w/ a similar set-up up to the person researching the oil. In the LSX engine German Castrol & Pennzoil Platinum have produced very good wear & related numbers where as the "not as originally formulated" RP numbers have not been ideal. As noted, all can visit "BITOG" web site to learn about oil reports, analysis,...etc..
