I'm not an oil expert, but i use 0w in the winter, 5w in summer from reading this forum. A lot of people seem to have moved away from mobile 1 as well, but I still use it.

Sounds a bit extreme. Lots of people have lots of opinions about oil. Just because a guy spent more $$ on his car doesn't mean he knows stuff.

My take: Use a full synthetic oil and change it every 4-5K miles. Any quality oil between 0-40 to 10-50 will not destroy your car.

My personal choice- Castrol Syntec 5w40

Once your engine is fully warmed up (180+) you're both running 40 weight oil so unless Hi-mileage is not full synthetic there is no horsepower difference & your neighbor is not a oil expert either. Search this forum for oil info.

Harrys...eh...scummy at times... Mr. Ricks is nearby in Avila Beach and always a nice bar for a good time. The Boardroom is right off the beach, left of the pier (if facing it from the parking lot), they only serve beer, but its a ********************in' place...good snacks too.
