Does it matter if I change Brands of oil if I have been using the same brand since I have owned my car? What is the best brand to use?

You can change, IMO almost all regular oils are the same. It's the synthetics that are different.



I use the castrol synthetic blend in my cars.



Probably the best oil period is mobile 1 fully synthetic, but if you do alot of driving and need to change the oil very often, it can get costly.

well some people say yes and i say no, i've just changed over and i love it. the only thing i recommend is not to change oil weights, stay the same. i've notice that synthetic has mad my engine run way more smothly....its a plus man...

I actually went to 10W30 from 5W30 when I switched to Mobil1 a year ago. There's just something about using 5W30 in the hot weather down here that worries me.
