      Haha, touche'. Seriously though, I remember the dealer here asking me what kind of oil I wanted in my car and I asked "What does GM recommend for the Vette'?" He says Mobil1, then it's good enough for the Aveo. I've been using it for years though on all my cars, I just recently started using Royal Purple about 2 years ago.

      AMSOil 5W-30 Full Synthetic with WIX filter for this time....

      Next time planning to switch it out to AMSOil 0W-30 with AMSOil "absolute efficiency" filter.

      I always use Castrol GTX regular oil. my dad always used it in his 1990 geo metro and he got 308,000 miles on it. the motor still is in working order, we still have it. (along with another 1992 geo metro convertible lsi) the reason why it died was the subframe was rotted completely through and the whole car would turn when you gave it gas and also when you braked. But for me thats was all the proof i needed to keep using castrol GTX

      This time around, I found an old discontinued Amsoil filter here at the shop and used a blend of Motomaster Formula One, Motomaster Supreme and Suzuki 5w30 API SM oil. Had to make room in the storage.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      Re: What's your engine oil?

      Well I was doing the oil changes at the dealership but a month ago I switched to Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and filter since my boyfriend uses that oil on his Dodge Stratus R/T and I've heard it is Mobil 1 its pretty good but the only downside its that cost me around $80 every 3000 miles.
