Read the "Oil Journals" and decide for yourself. Sometimes, you gotta take some responsibilities for your own choices. We don't know what you do with your car or how you drive it. We have absolutely no idea of the circumstances surrounding what your engine oil has to be subjected to. How can we tell you what to use?

Why not stick with synthetic? Like Mobil 1 10W-50? Or any synthetic brand?

forget jiffy lube, unless u know the people there. you could always do it yourself but if ur a lazy fcuk like me, i suggest spugen or hockey. matter of fact, im going to spugen this saturday for an oil change.
well, if u do go to jiffy lube, make sure u provide the oem s2k oil filter and if ur car has less than 10k miles, u should switch back to non syn oil.

yea, synthetic should be cool at 12k. spugen charges me $15 for the oil change as long as i bring my own oil and filter. yea dude, me and my friend is going this saturday at 11:30am, you should swing by or make an appointment. they are located in whittier, next to cerritos.
