I use 5w-30 syn;what is called for in the manual in the winter is 5w30 oil. Use only the best and change it often depending on the cars use. I've always heard it's like the blood of the engine.

Oil: Mobil 1 0W30. Walmat in 5qt container: $22, often with $10 rebate
Filter: Bosch has the $5 filter but not sure it is designed to go with extended intervals so I have been spending $10-15 on the filter - usually factory, mann, or mahle. Seems like a big difference in internals compared with Bosch.
Interval: 7 to 8K miles
Use in STR and Volvo XC90 V8
Not cheap but beats the 9 qt of Mobil 0W40 thats only sold by the qt in the US for $8/qt that in need in my weekend car

Thanks for the invite bro, I'm sure once the little one comes along an exodus to the "Burbs" will shortly follow. The size of the garage will be a major selling point for me. Notice the "ME" and not "US"......

G-Oil
To the original question, I use a product my company manufacturers: G-Oil. It is a beef tallow based, synthetic quality oil, that is environmentally friendly and ultimate biodegradeable. It has the API's SM certification, so it is safe to use and best of all it is an American made product, helping remove our dependance on foreign oil. Sorry for the commercial, but I believe in the product. Also, after using G-Oil, i gained 3 mpg on the highway. G-Oil is also the official motor oil of American LeMans racing, and we have a car in the LMPC series. Using our oil, we placed first in class last week at Long Beach!

MikeOh-You do understand that that product is not biodegradable nor environmentally safe after it has been used in an internal combustion engine??
Plus the fact that there is not enough beef tallow in the entire world to provide engine lubricating oil for even a small percentage of the cars on the road??
And thanks for the advertisement.
