Re: engine oil 2007 2.4L

I would say if the mileage is high, a synthetic is definitely a good idea. Or a specialized high mileage oil. Castrol GTX comes in a high mileage formula for example.
As far as weight, the manufacturer often suggests 5w-30, but there really isn't anything wrong with running 10w-30, that's what I usually do. It just seems to coat everything a bit better.
