The OEM AC Delco, will most likely continue to use Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic as well...

I just use a coke can stuffed with cheese cloth - works great.

I love the stuff. It, along with the Amsoil stuff seem to get the best test ratings on Bob the Oil Guy's site too...

I find that swiss sometimes has too big of holes, so when I went to grated parmesan, I gained about 5hp.

AC Delco filter w/ Mobil1.
Or maybe Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic...I've read a lot of good things about the natural gas derived Pennzoil Platinium.

I am doing my first oil change today and will use a Mobil 1 M1-113 filter and 5-30W Extended Full Synthetic oil. I was kinda surprised that it takes almost 10 quarts so it's going to fill up the drain pan for sure. Cost for the filter (Advance Auto) and oil (WalMart) was about $75.

Kind of silly not to collect on the oil changes you paid for when you bought your car.

Not silly for some of us, id rather do it myself. Dealers scratch cars, mess up changes and get it wrong. I like doing it myself, dont care about the free stuff.ill put a fumoto oil drain valve on it, 20 min no mess oil change.

My dealer must be exceptional

They have a "quick-lube" bay where they do oil changes without putting the car on a lift. It takes about 15 minutes once they get the car. No scratches or other FUBARs. I will do my own oil changes now that I've gotten the four included services (please don't call them 'free'). That's about $200 in materials, not to mention my labor time, so I'm happy to collect.
