oil- what brand, type, weight, change intervals

Damn that's expensive. I don't think I'm willing to throw that much money into the oil. That test that was shown used 15w30 for Mobil1 and the rest used 20w30. Not to say that would have helped Mobil1 all that much.

Still....
$8/quart

No, the Mobil1 was 15w-50 and all the rest were 20W-50. It is interesting that the wear test showed Mobil1 on the bottom of the list with Havoline, Valvoline, Castrol, and Quaker State Synthetics beating Mobil1 too.
Another thing to consider is that you should be able to go longer than other synthetics, Mobil 1 included, which, in effect, brings your price down.

Turbo-charged, non-race gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times longer than those recommended by the engine manufacturer, or six months, whichever comes first.
