Hey Tony -

I have used Castrol Synthetic for two years now, because of our extreme
heat and cold. I had to make sure my engine didn't leak, so after new
push rod tubes made the gradual switch. I use 10 w 30... I also use the
K-mart filters called Penskie - they're made by Casrtol USA, and are
$2.00 each. With all my engine does, I change oil every three months or
so, and it turns out to be very affordable. That's what I do -

Good luck!
