I tried a few different wieghts and brands of synthetics when I first got the car and ended up using the Mobil 1 0w 40. Seems to do well in the Texas heat. Lifters are fairly quite, good Psi, no consumption issues.

Used 5W-30 M1 for a while then switched to GC 0W-30. Wasnt happy with the initial increase in drivetrain noise. But after a couple hundred miles its back to normal. Oil pressure sits a lil over 40 at idle.

Ive used GC..Mobil 1...Pennzoil Platinum..Amsoil..havent really noticed any difference between them. I used the Platinum because of the buy one get one sale at advance auto..On long highway trips my car does seem to burn the platinum quicker than other oils ive tried...I havent decided if i'm gonna stick with the Platinum or not..I still have some GC left over..so i will prolly use that on my next oil change, and than idk..maybe i'll keep using the GC or just switch back over to the Platinum and stick with it.

When it's on sale, order 24 quarts and you're good for 2 years. When I saw it on sale, I bought 24 quarts and now I'm good for a looooong time. When it's on sale again, I'll pick up some more.

Well... maybe one or two. Or four. Or... 10. Not more than 10 "Which oil do you use?" polls for sure.
At any rate, not more than 20.
