    I think I might just be using regular oil, but changes every 3000miles. because regular oil is OIL.

    I'm probably 10-50 miles over my first 3000 miles of owning the car. I was going to use 5w-30 Mobil1, but I think I'll just use 5w-30 mobil dyno.

    I realized my finances will probably align themselves in such a way that in 2-5 years, I'll probably just want to upgrade to a 2.5L if not some other car moreso than worrying about blowing this motor up in 2-5 years. Plus I'm stock now, and double plus I probably wont do anything crazier than AP stage 2.
