Anyone ever used Amsoil? I can't remember, Also what wheight should I use and how often to change it. i'm thinking of putting it in my Wagon. Right now the guy put in a synthetic blend I could go more than three thousand with that right. He changed it every 3,000 but I'm not changing it beforte Montana, and It will be over three thousand while we are out there. I'm thinking more like five but not sure what have you guys done on those synthetic blends and what wheight do you guys use. I can't remember is it like conventional where it is different for winter and summer?

I'm trying to figure out what I want to run in the Wagon, I was at Car Quest today and they had Fram, Bosch, and K&N. Of these three what would you reccommend? And where in Billings can I get a wix filter. I'm guessing at Napa, but not sure. Also with the full syn, do you guys rotate summer winter, I did when I had my GLI but that was with conventional, I have 5/30 in it now, but wondering if I should change.

uhh, 5-30 is too light. Get a 5w-40 or a 0w-40.
As for oil filters, go with the napa gold. They are made by wix.
