I use Amsoil 10w30. If I am lazy, I will use Mobil 1 10w30. I always use the Mobil 1 filter as well.

Did you try searching first? There is plenty of threads about engine oil. You can also find usable info in your qwner's manual.... good luck!

Is this the first time you're changing the engine oil?
