Time for an oil change...

[da_raabi]

I thought I would start a thread seeing what everybody uses for their oil changes. I have seen little info online for what is standard/what everybody likes so lets start something here. Just post up the following info, and maybe we can get a nice record of oil info going! Let try to keep conversation minimal, just post your info and/or your experience. This could be a handy tech thread!
