Ok, so i went to canadian tire, because i needed an oil filter. so im walking down the oil section, and i see it, Mobil 1....4L for 24.95 Canadian. I sat their thinking...should i switch from Quakerstate, to Mobil 1. I looked at the jug I usually buy, the peak performance bottle for 9.95CAN, then look at the Mobil 1 bottle. I must have stood their for atleast 10 minutes, weighing the positives and negatives. I finally grabbed the Mobil 1, 10W30. A large grin overcame my face....**** was i happy. I was ****** though when i went to get a Mobile 1 filter.....their was none, so ill visit Walmart soon.
What i have as a question is this. I have a 99 Grand Prix with the 3800 series II engine, and no, unfortunatly shes not being blown. I do put about 13,000 km a year on her, but i dont know how long to keep the oil in? Should i just change it for the winter and summer? The car only sees city use only with relativly short trips, and the oil was changed every 5,000km to my knowledge before on dino oil(we bought her used with 45,000 and now she has 63,000km). Or should i just change the oil steadily every 5 months?
I need some opinions. Also, were do the Canadina on this board get theyre oil anaylsis` done, and how much is it?
Thanks Guy/Girls
