Gage your oil changes by your driving habits. Short drives with lot of stop and go require more frequent oil changes. Basically, if the manufacture specifies Mobile1, use it. Otherwise, save your $$$ and use conventional oil. In most cases, you will see about a 2 to 1 advantage. Two regular oil changes are about equal to the cost of one synthetic oil change.

I considered Mobil 1, but with the rear axle seals being kind of tempermental on this gen Runner, opted for the Castrol blend. Thought they were gonna grenade a couple times last winter at -50F... poor ol' clutch took it rather unkindly too. Just FWIW for the northern latitude folks. I use dino juice for the mill, but then I've got an oil pan heater, so no biggie. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
