Crap, I just bought 7 quarts of it last week at ~$7/qt (5 for the 5-qt jug). Oh well.

I use 10W30 in mine.
Al, how long do you run the EP oil in your car? 15000 miles sure would be nice, but I'd probably end up adding another few quarts in that amount of time

I mostly use EP for my M-B truck since Benz engines are a bit more picky on oils, but I still change oil every 6k or so. BTW, EP has nothing to do with the weight, I use 5w30 in winters and 10w30 for summers regardless its EP or not. EP is bit better than Mobil 1 since it contains 50 percent more "SuperSyn" than Mobil 1, meaning it will maintain its viscosity better than regular synthetic oil. For the same price, why not?jablackburn wrote:I use 10W30 in mine.

Oh, I have to mention that I'm NOT using EP for my 96 since its "cleaning agent" could cause older engine leak. Use HM (high mileage) mobil 1 would be my suggestion.
