Hi,
I was wondering which option is better:
Change Engine oil with PennzOil Syntech with 7500 Miles by 104$
OR
Change oil at dealer with 15000 miles by 160$ ?
Which one do you prefer best?

Use 0-XX weight oil if possible, it provides the best protection at start-up which is when most engine wear occurs.
