I use Penzoil 5w-30. No complains here. Speaking of which, I have to change my oil soon. Thanks for reminding me.

M1 is not full synthetic - it has changed to a Group III oil.

I use Royal Purple now and the tC loves it.

LOL - M1 is about $6.25 a qt, RP is $7.00.

Not a lot of money for a true group IV oil, but M1 is good, just not worth the price.
