i just recently purchased my car and now its time for an oil change .. the guy i baught it from ( a very trusted/family member ) told me its been ran on mobile one since day one .. i can get in contact with him now so im wondering what kind of mobile one to get?? i have 132,758 miles on it ( all high way) how much does it take 4.5 quartz?? what kind of filter do i need to get???
i want to continue using mobile 1 because the car runs like a raped ape the engines in really good condition and i want to keep it that way!

If you go to your local auto store they will get you the right size filter. I always go fram, never had a problem with them. I'm pretty sure it takes about 4 quarts. Put in for then run the motor for like 5 mins. Check the oil level and fill as needed. I use 10W-30 in my 92 cutlass supreme with 146 thousand miles, but I use quakerstate high milage.

It is likely that it was 10w-30 (green top, i think) it is what i use. Filter is your choice if you want to spend money you can get a mobil1 filter.. I use pureone filters

Honestly, Fram blows balls IMO :)

Yes, when tested Frams did very poorly. The only filters worth a damn for our cars are Mitsu and Pure1. A local NEDSM member used to test filters for a living, so we have some inside info ;) I ckecked my inline turbo filter with 10 miles on the new motor, and there was NOTHING inside it. I give credit to the Pure1 filter (I used to break in motors on fram filters since they are cheap and you change them often at first, bad move).

i have been using the bosch filter,i really never liked fram to much but thats just me.also the pure 1 filter is also a great filter besides im way to far away to go to MITSU DEALER.a very good source said they use VALVOLINE SYN POWER over MOBILE 1 they said it helped lifter tick better,it worked for me!
i guess im kind of pic happy after i bought a new olympus digi cam yesterday.

Thanks a lot, that study helped a lot. I'm out of the dark on oil filters now.

I heard fram had a problem with collapsing. I don't know for sure.
