I have been lurking in the shadows for some time now, can't quite find my answer thru the search...
3.8 Buick Regal GS, supercharged, with 118,000 and climbing.
I use my car for work and average 125 miles perday. The car is shut off and started at each clients home. Some times it sits for two hours some are only 10 minutes. I usually drive highway or country roads. The oil was changed by the dealer every 4-5 thousand miles. (it never went beyond 5K) they said they used Quackerstate (O/C came free with the purchase of the car). Making appointments every 4-6 weeks is now getting to be a real PITA. So, what would be a good and inexpexsive oil for my car I want the car to last and I like doing my own maintenance. One more, is it worth it to have one of those fumoto valves instead of the plug. Sorry if its kinda long... and Thanx for a great site!!
