    In both my 3100 '94 Grand Am (now past 200K miles) and my 3800 '04 Monte Carlo (and the rest of my fleet), I use conventional (Quaker State, Havoline, Valvoline, Castrol) and change 3000-5000 miles. I prefer a Bosch filter but I sometimes go for a Fram.
    So far, I feel this oil change regiment has served me well. So, I am hard pressed to switch it.

    Castrol Edge 5w30 every 7000 miles. I always wait for AdvanceAuto deals. Current one is 5 qt and K&N filter for 33 bucks. Would be nearly 60 bucks normally.

    I use Castrol Syntec in all of my vehicles and Wix filters... every 3500-5000 miles... My GP has 225k miles on it and still runs strong... Would NEVER use a fram after working in the auto aftermarket and seeing a cutaway of one of their filters...

    Hmm..that's odd, would think you do it the other way around and use the 0w in winter which is better for cold starts?

    They're crap dude, plain and simple. Even with google you'll find where people have cut them open and what's inside you might as well use an old soda can and some cardboard.'

    This sort of research is what got me to choose Purolator PureOne's. In the scope of things they are a really good filter for the price (even better than the K&N's). Only reason I use the K&N's on my bikes is the nut on the end makes for getting some really odd filter positions easier to work with.

    mobil 1 extended performance 10w 30 always with mobil 1 filter or bosch dirt filter. change ever 4k hard... and i mean hard miles. ive had my oil anylized too and found that my engine is clean. also id just like to clarify that should you ever go from synthetic back to conventional you can do this. ive been told by many that doing this can cause problems. well im here to tell you that is false. just fyi incase you cant afford your normal oil.
