I've used almost every oil out there and never had issues. Recently I have been using Mobil 1 Synthetic as I read some good articles on it but IMO they all do the same thing.

^^^X2. I have used Mobil 1 Amsoil and Royal Purple over the years but I generally only put 600-1200 k's on per year and change it out every spring. I go with the old saying "you get what you pay for" but others use the cheap stuff and are seemingly happy.

If I remember correctly you will need around 5.5-6.0 quarts/litres. I know with mine I need 7 doh
