I stick with OEM oil. Never had a problem.

I use the 5W-30 non-synthetic. These days you have to ask for it.

If you have an '05, then you are supposed to be using the OW-30 Synthetic. I suppose you could use it in the '04s too. Some folks do. The '03s have outdated rings. I would definitely use the 5W-30 non-synthetic in them.

Some guys are using other brands. I have seen posts re. Amsoil and Mobile 1 frequently.

I am sure others will pipe up here. Some do not like the cost of the OEM. Some are stuck on a particular brand and use it in every thing, etc.

The YAM 0W-30 is SEMI SYN...the 0W-40 is a FULL SYN...I've always used the 0W-30 without any issues.

Broke it in on Yami 5-30. After that 0-40 Amsoil. Over 11,000 miles no issues.

Amsoil in my '03 2000 miles and uses no oil.

Amsoil signature series 0w30 in both the 03 and 04, 03 burns very little, and the 04 burns none
