What's the best oil to put in my roadster

 

Mobil 1 0w40

 

And you do not want that stupid paper filter - get the white plasticy looking one (I think it's called a Fleece filter?)

 

Went down to O'rielly's this week end and Mobil 1 Oil was $8.69 a QT (x9 = $78) so I went back to my Dealer who charges me just $95 to change with the new filter....couldn't go wrong here. Why? I have a small decal of the dealer on the back of the car (not to noticable) and will always just charge me $95 a Oil change for life, as long as I have that decal on.

Why do you need 9 quarts? After doing a proper oil change (draining from below), I added exactly 8 quarts, checked the level and it was perfect. Also cost me under $80 including the Mobil 1 oil filter. Not to mention the pride of doing it myself.

 

Just going by the Manual with a new filter added it takes 8.5 qts, but they chage for the full Qrt. That is why I estmated the 9th Qrt.

At a certain age, it's not worth saving $10 to crawl over and under the car for DIY oil change. I have access to an excellent indie that does mine for $75. I started buying the 0W-40 from him when I realized he sold it to me for $6.50/qt, less than I can get it on sale. And he takes care of my two Crossies and two Audis.

 

My next door neighbor is an AMSOIL dealer, so I always get the oil at cost. Been using the 5W-40 since day one and my car just loves it and so do I.
