As you can see, there are lots of opinions on oil. Do some reading and decide what you'd like to use. Regardless, 5-7k mile oil changes are as important as what oil you've decided to run.

"Lifetime' coolant is used in your car. Personally, I changed my coolant at about 95K miles. I splurged and purchased the Porsche coolant at $30/gallon, as it took any angst out of the decision and I may not ever have to do it again.

Don't believe the hype of 10K mi oil changes. Best ins you can get for your engine is frequent changes. I do mine between 4-5K mi.
