Everyone has their preferred brand of oil. So I wanted to find out what is your favorite brand or what brand would you use and possibly why you chose that brand?
What brand of oil would you use for your Regal?

Id like to know where the oil filter housing is ? Pretty sad when the owners manual does not tell you.
Also does not say anywhere what kind of oil to use, just 5W30. Most european cars, BMW ect, Have it right on the oil filler cap Mobil1, Castrol ect.. I guess they are delivered with Dino oil...
Thanks,
DL

Advance Auto parts currently has Quaker State "Ultimate Durabilty" (Dexos Licensed) on sale now for $3.99/qt. Quaker State is offering $20 rebate if you purchase 5 quarts. Takes 6 quarts for an oil change. I got in on the deal. 6 quarts for $4.00.

I have been using Castrol ever since I started doing my own oil changes. Never read a bad review about them and its worked really well for me so far. I try and get the German made Castrol as its a much better grade than the North American made Castrol.

Oil filter is under the black cap right behind the dip stick

First oil change for ours @ 6330 miles. 37% remaining, just wanted to do the first one or two a little early.

If I run Mobile 1 Full Synthetic in my Regal (haven't even had my first oil change yet) how many miles should I be getting between changes?
Should I be changing my filter more often (lets say every 5k miles) since I will be able to go 8-10k+ miles?
Or do I not have to worry about it on a modern car like the Regal?
Mobile 1 FAQ says NO on extra filter changes

I personally, pick the oil and filter and change interval. Go with it. Then pull a sample and send in for analysis, adjust per results of analysis.
Don't know about the regal yet, but in my truck I've been running 10,000 miles with synthetic oil.

I used to use Royal Purple but I heard bad things about them plus it caused a knock in my engine. Now I use Castrol too.

What engine oil was put in from the factory, conventional/synthetic ?
GM isn't going to waste the 2 week time frame or money to have the oil run through analysis. Even then other oils have just as much metals, minerals, additives etc in it so there is no way to tell. Specially not on these motors. V8 corvettes that blow all the time could be a different story since it costs them a lot in repair money.
Pennzoil Pure Plus Platinum 5w30 High Mileage
FRAM (Yes, FRAM) Ultra Synthetic
From there, I just change when it tells me, since it's always well below the extended range of these products.
I actually took a lot of time to decide on these as well. Lots of other forums, reviews, and tests.
