What oil do you use?
I was just curious as to what everyone uses here as their choice of oil. I set it up in a poll format as well. If I didn't list you oil tell us about it as I for one am curious.

Re: What oil do you use?
I got a bunch as well. Waited for them to discontinue at Autozone where they kept the 0-20 in the back. Got it for $1 a quart since it was being phased out. I get a bunch of stuff like this at AZ. Sometimes you have to look close at their clearence section. A lot goes for a penny!

I could'nt find any 0w20, so I switched my two non-hybrids to 0w30... results are good so far, although the check engine light came on for a while in my Saturn, all is now well with the car.
The 30 weight oil is just thicker than the 20 weight. I don't see how it could cause any harm. In fact, if you check the specs, must 20 weight oils are "on the line" between 20 & 30.... they are almost as thick as 30 weight.
