Anyone use Pennzoil? I've used it in my previous car with no problems and will likely use it in my S as well when I change the oil for the first time since I've owned it.

Hmm im still using honda oil as of now but plan to switch to mobile one on the next oil change. But i dont change my oil every 3000 miles i do it when it hits 20%. I use to use royal purple in my evo and change it every 3 months. But im still not sure if it was worth the price really and i belive that a synthetic oils should be good to around 5000-7000 miles thats about what i get when the guage says 20%. But each to there own some people change it every 3 months others just wait i have not heard or seen any real proof that ethier help or hurt the car in the long run

You might want to read up a bit more on it. And I'm not referring to RP's marketing material.

II replaced the piece of crap NAPA filter with a K&N and filled it up with Mobil 1. It feels like a totally different car....much smoother.
I may be wrong but I have heard that Hastings makes NAPA filters... I have always heard that Hastings is one of the better oil filters you can buy... anyone second that or am I too deep in this bottle of rum to know better?
