Just stay away from fram except the X2. You can buy Mobil 1 5W-30 in a 5 quart jug at wal-mart for under $20. Good luck
Yeah, BlazerBoyLT98 is pretty much right on. I use Mobil1 with a NAPA Gold filter. (they are made by WIX, if the filter carrying the WIX name were available in my area I would buy them instead.) The Napa Gold And WIX filters are great, they have great flow and filtering capabilities, plus they have an awesome anti-drainback valve that gives you nice, quiet startups.
