I used the Mobile 1 because my brother and his son's swear by the stuff. I picked-up my 6 quart pack at Costco for $22.95. I put 5 in the cars motor, and the sixth one went into the trunk.
I am so glad you posted that 2nd sentance. I was like "Oh Sh!t, He didn't use all 6 quarts."
Good price as well.

The only problem with using a full synthetic oil, is, if it hasn't been used from day 1, you will
start getting leaks around the cam seals, crank seal, and valve cover gaskets. The best way to go is a semi synthetic (synthetic blend) or a high mileage oil. It is also a syn blend. This will soften up dry seals ( if the car has been sitting for a period of time). Also replace the A/C Delco oil filter with a Wix. It is a better filter with an an anti drainback check, so it will keep some oil in the engine and help prevent dry starts. The best semi synthetic oil would be
Castrol GTX High Mileage. DO NOT use a Fram Oil Filter. They have a great advertising campaign, but that's about it. You will start getting all kinds of ticking noises from your engine, and it will drive you absolutely crazy.
