OK wasnt really sure where to put this so jst decided to go in general engine performance anyway first time owning this car for its oil change and iv been slacking its at 4500 miles and well its was suppose to be changed about 5 k miles ago, i have the gt version and i was jst trying to see what kind of oil anyone with the 3.8L engine puts in theirs. oh and wtf i searched oil change and for some reason all the posts were pretty much about CAI and SRI lol

Oil.. hmmmm
oil change
what type of oil do you use?

Boomko · September 1st, 2011, 05:11 PM

I use royal purple. I have GS and I change every 5000 miles. 3000 miles is scam just to make money.

thanks dude

Iv used royal purple it is a great performance oil...but I wasn't comfortable with the oil getting so thin when it heats up. I was hearing more engine noise then before. Sence then iv been putting nothing but castrol sentic full senthetic. Now I don't hear the valves clatter when I walk up to my car so I know the engine is well protected. And with full senthetic like RP or CS u don't have to change ur oil every 4500 miles. Last longer. Oh yea I to have a gt.

Use the purple

snoeclipse · September 1st, 2011, 10:59 PM

m1 5w30 and I leave it in for 10500 miles.

Change the filter and top off every 3500 miles though.

I use Napa Gold/Wix filters, they cost about $3- each if you buy a case.
