Both Mobil-1 and K&N make an excellent oil filter. I use K&N but I know a
lot that use Mobil-1. Currently, if you have a Costco near you they are
carrying Mobil-1 oil. Usually that's a better deal than you can find in
most places.

Subject: DML: Re: RE: Mobil One Syn 5-30
Oops, I didn't specify. Not Mobil I bet, which I've seen recommended.
Probably a knock off of OEM.I trust my mechanic though. (He maintained my 88
Ranger for 13 years. Sold it to my cousin and I would still drive it across
country tomorrow. 175000 miles on it! I'll never go back though, not after
the Dak! )What filter should I use if I stay with the syn? If I crunch some
#'s, I might save money or break even. I am a believer in a long term
relationship!! But, I don't think I could wait another 13 years for a new
Dak!
