This is a topic I have seen a few times through searching.. Book recommends 5W20. Says Conventional or Synthetic. I have no clue what was used in this car before I bought it about 2 months ago. I don't know if they have used synthetics or not.
My question is, should I use Synthetic or Conventional motor oil? I can get Mobile1 5W20 for the same price as conventional year long. But, what are your thoughts?

Thanks,
 
Give it some time to see if indeed it is using any oil. If not the decision process will become easier. At this point you are only guessing.
 
What are your driving habits.

How many miles daily, monthly and yearly.

What percentage highway, city, stop-and-go, short trips?

How many long trips (50 miles R/T or more).
 
Run 5W-20. If you can get Mobil 1 for the same price as conventional then go for it. Where do you get Mobil 1 that cheap?

Costco when it is on sale like this month. Close in Price anyway.
