There are never any conclusions in an oil thread. This isn't because people argue....it's because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONCLUSIONS applicable to all people in an oil thread.
Sushi - Might want to fix the link for AMSOIL 0w30.
All others:
Cliff notes: Use a quality synthetic and a good oil filter and change every 7500 miles or one year with complete confidence that the oil can go even longer.
Quality synthetics include, in no particular order:
1. Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 (probably the best value synthetic)
2. AMSOIL 0w30 (probably the highest quality/best/more expensive synthetic for this car when used with LONG OIL CHANGE INTERVALS, i.e. 10-15k or longer)
3. Redline 5w30
4. Mobil One (anything from 0w20-10w40, depending on application)
5. Valvoline Synpower
6. Quaker State Q-Power
...the list goes on
Quality Oil Filters:
1. OEM
2. Purolator PureOne
3. Wix
4. Napa Gold
5. Mobil One
6. Others (I won't include Fram in the list of quality oil filters, including modern Fram)
When you change your oil, use a new crush washer. Get the oil bolt snug, don't overtighten.
When you tighten your oil filter, tighten with your hand and get it nice and snug.
Now go drive it and stop freaking out over oil.
