Changing Oil Brand
Does it affect the engine if you change oil brand (not syn oil, normal oil) each time? I can remember years ago (10-12) I was told that due to the additives that each brand uses that they can affect your o-rings, etc. so best to stay with one brand then if you do change stay with that brand
any truth to that - what do ya'll do?

The stock recomended Mobil 1 is fine for this car.. If you want better I would look into Redline, Motul or Amsoil. All of these premium synthetic oils have higher levels of ZDDP.
You can switch between the synthetics, as they are required by law to be interchangeable. However NEVER mix two brands atthe same time; foaming of the oil may occur.
