wait until 10k miles to use synthetic oil(MOBIL 1 is synthetic).

use castrol gtx 10w30 for now, you'll need 5.1 quarts. GTX has a high amount of molybdenum and it great for breakin(same stuff found in the original factory fill).

man dont say anything if you have no idea what you're talking about. its too f'n early to go with synthetic right now , he has to wait atleast 10k miles before he can swtich to synthetic.

USE REGULAR OIL, LIKE CASTROL GTX 10W30!!!!

i agree. castrol gtx is probably one of the best conventional oils you can use. its relatively cheap, doesn't burn off as easily PLUS it has a high amount of moly.
