Okay so we have had this car for a year now, but last time the oil was changed was at an Oil Can Henry's.. we were busy and it NEEDED done.
So now it's my turn. The car has 5W30 castrol in it... no clue which castrol though. Im guessing GTX.
Now the vehicle, even though it is a 2003 model, has only 19,500 miles. We bought from an old woman who had gotten alzheimers shortly after her purchase. Either way.. I want a good 5W30 oil for this thing. I was thinking SHELL ROTELLA T5 5W30... as I know all rotella oils are excellent and that they will give a long OCI... which is want my Mom wants.
SO Rotella 5W30 is what I am thinking. Local Autozone has 5 quaarts and a filter for $30 on PP... but I dont know.
As far as filter, I think I will just go with a Wix or Bosch Distance plus. Thoughts? I personally run a OEM Mann (black can) on my BMW. I better stock up on them actually... before they are NLA!
