What oil do you use?

[exvin]

Hey All

I was just wondering what oil do you guys/gals use in your rides? Synthetics or conventional? Brand would be helpful also

Thanks

castrol synthetic blend 5-30

2003 Pathfinder, I use Castrol GTX or Quaker State, 5W30 year-round. Both conventional oil. The owners manuals for the '03 and '04 recommend that synthetics *not* be used, otherwise I'd be putting them in.

My dad keeps bugging me to put 0W30 oil in for the winter... might have proven useful in the -35C weather we had up in Edmonton a few weeks ago, so maybe I'll take his suggestion next oil change.

i use castrol semisynthetic 5w30, im scared to go full synthetic since the first 50k miles had dino oil, but figured this would help the motor a little without the risk. been using it for a year and no issues. My engine burns/leaks a little oil, after switching i noticed it doesnt leak till the last 1000/5000kms of the oil change interval.

The cheapest oil I can buy, my QX4 has a misfiring cylinder not worth wasting money on good stuff.
