MOBIL1 Synthetic is my preference as well as the MOBIL1 premium filter. But you can't go wrong with any of the name brands if you're changing the oil "early and often." I usually don't go much past 3k if I can help it.



Definitely make sure you have plenty of basin catch space before you start. 10 qts is more than I thought and I ended up with a mess on my first one.

I am also a proponent of getting an extra quart to "flush" the old oil out ahead of popping the drain plug back in and filling 'er up.
Appreciate the info.

Going to be using the local auto hobby shop on base.
