    ^^^ damn and I thought I was bad about changing my oil every 2000 miles..... I'm no expert but I've always done thicker in the summer and thinner in the winter due to the temp changes, but that is what I was always told.....

    I run Mobil 1 full synthetic because I don't feel like driving way the hell to the other side of town to buy 5 qts of RP. And while I'm at it, I don't even use the stock oil filter any more. My filter is the same EXACT filter that the K series guys use for their hondas. I said screw that years ago and now I run a Corvette ZR1 oil filter. I also change my oil every 5k miles because most of the time I'm driving the car easy. Gotta love a V6 that averages 28 mpg!!!

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
