Re: What is the best synthetic oil? Best oil filter?

As long as the lubricant is still in good condition it isn't going to make a big difference which one is in the engine for "normal" driving. So it's a question for some of finding the brand they can go the longest between oil changes. For others they change their oil on a regular basis, like every 3-5K miles whether it needs it or not. They can use just about anything because they're changing it before most oils are going to have to time to be broken down.

It also depends upon how / how often the car is driven, be it a daily driver or a garage queen that sits more than it's driven.

My car is a D.D., it came with Mobil 1 and it gets changed before the oil life service monitor says it needs it.
