i use amsoil. your supose to be able to go 100,000 miles on one oil change but change filters every 15,000. there are different grades of oil for specific uses. http://www.amsoil.com/ Thats what i use and you send a sample into the lab and they test your oil to see if it is dirty or if you can still use it. check it out

MOBIL 1 Fully Synthetic is the best for NEW CARS...and
for HIGH COMPRESSION HIGH REVVING NEW CARS get Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 0w-20 oil... If you car has over 80,000 miles on it Buy VALVOLINE MAX LIFE Oil, it comes in a red bottle, I bought a toyota corolla, 1990, with 110,000 miles. i changed the oil with valvoline max life every 4,000 miles... and the engine after the second oil change i noticed was much more quiet, and felt like it had alot better compression and seals...... but mobil 1 syn. is the best racing oil... I now own a 2003 Toyota Celica GTS 6-speed, and i put mobil 1 0w-20 in it, i get better gas mileage and more horsepower.... and tests show that a car ran with this oil showed no wear even after 100,000 miles of use ran on a dyno-meter....

for an SER SPEC-V ....sorry
but for that car, it doesn't have a high redline, and not much compression...just a huge 2.5 liter engine that generates alot of torque... i recommend mobil 1 fully synthetic 10w-30 because that engine needs slightly thicker oil, but dont go TOO THICK, you could damage your engine, and you lose horsepower plus gas mileage

Whatever's on sale. Buy a name brand. Consumer Reports did a test on NY taxicabs, regular oil vs. synthetic, and found little or no difference between the two. Save your money to buy LEDs and pinstripes. These add horsepower.

What about a good oil filter? i stopped using the oem 15208 9e000. I had problems with it leaking. before i bought my se-r, i had a frontier v-6, i used mobil1 filters.
i hear that pure one and k & n filters are pretty good. can anyone help????  Thanx ahead of time for any responses.
