Oil Recommendation for 04 Acura TL?

[vronline]

Meant to say change the filter every time...

I meant to say change the filter every time... Sorry.

Just follow the Maintenance Minder and change it when required. Every 5-7k miles for most people.

Use the cheapest SM/GF-4 5W20 you can find.

Yep, you should be following the MID on when it says to change. I have yet to see it tell anyone sooner than 5k. Normally its 5-7k area for oil changes.

How much $$ do you want to spend on the oil?

Doesn't really matter. Cost was the least of my considerations.

Is there a warranty to consider?

No

Is there any particular brand you WON'T use?

Quaker State. Most likely a bias stemming from my Dad's hatred of QS.

I was going to recommend either QS or MC. Since you won't use QS, give the MC a try. It will be a perfect oil for 3-5k mile OCI's. I also like buster's idea of using the Amsoil filter & only changing it every 15-20k miles.
