At 107k with 2000 Alero with 2.4L twin cam engine
have been using Cenex Synthetic Blend oil for 80K I have owned car. Whats the best oil to keep it happy? What I have been using?
 
From the Amsoil site:
2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO 2.4L 4-cyl Engine Code T
LUBRICANTS & FLUIDS
Engine Oil
Grade 1......API*
Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
SAE 5W-30 XL Synthetic Motor Oil
Above 0°F......10W-30
All Temps......5W-30[1]
1. 5W-30 is preferred.

If you want to do extended oil change intervals, these are the oils to use. They also have better pour point and viscosity indexes, indicating a better synthetic oil than your synthetic blend.
