Hey Tony - I have used Castrol Synthetic for two years now, because of our extreme heat and cold. I had to make sure my engine didn't leak, so after new push rod tubes made the gradual switch. I use 10 w 30... I also use the K-mart filters called Penskie - they're made by Casrtol USA, and are $2.00 each. With all my engine does, I change oil every three months or so, and it turns out to be very affordable. That's what I do - Good luck!
