Default Best Brand of OIL?
I have been using Royal Purple 5w20, but at 7.50 a quart its a bit spendy, i was just wondering what everyone else uses, and what wieghts, do you switch to like a 5 or 10 - 30 for summer for more high temp protection? Just basically any info you got on good oil tips would be very helpfull thankyou.

I've used Castrol Syntec since it hit the market years ago, in all my cars, very pleased with it. At the moment it's not much cheaper than RP, I paid $6.99/qt. about a month ago for the most recent oil change, but maybe the price will drop the way gas has.
