      all of this blah blah and scary stuff about synthetics.....you should be fine...it's not like you have a high mileage engine. Just check the oil level once in a while to make sure it doesn't burn oil.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      I Used to run Moble 1's 15,000 mile oil but i notice about 3-5k miles into in performance went down and so did gas mileage. I have then switched to Amsoil's 0w-30 25,000 mile synthetic oil with amsoil's 35,000 mile oil filter. I have put 16k miles since i put it in, gas mileage is up alot. i get about 28-29 city and hwy is 33-35 if the wind is blowing behind me its 40...

      I'm doing the tranny fluid next with amsoil. and that is coming up soon. i'm at 56,400 miles.
      At 15k miles i was one quart low. and notice gas mileage was going down. bought another quart to top off and gas mileage went back up...
