Hey, I'm all for getting stuff on sale, I'm as miserly as they come - I do not have the first dollar I ever made... but I do have the second

But, the right oil is more important than saving a couple bucks in the short run.

Without pointing at you, it always amazes me how people will throw top dollar after the Flavor-of-the-Month Bling, Go-Fast part or Tires and then try to save $10 on something really important like oil, plugs or anti-freeze.

Save a buck where you can, but put priority on using the right oil(s). In the long run, that'll save more than a few $$.

so i guess a general consensus is castrol syntec is the oil of choice? That one i did see in a 10w-40 5 quart jug for $20 at walmart. Also since i also changed the oil filter during my motor flush would i have to get a new filter when i do my 500 mile oil change or can i leave the one i just replaced still in there?

Btw I use Valvoline 5W-30 synthetic on my civic si, but just thought that mobil 1 would be better for the porsche since that's what it says in the rear trunk. This weekend i'm changing plugs and fuel filter. Bosch iridium/platinum fusion, and napa fuel filter.
