Mobil 1 5000? and other stuff.

Just purchased 5 quarts of mobil 1 5000 . Anyone ever use this in their wrx? I don't drive all crazy and only push it once in awhile. Anyone have any thoughts on this motor oil? Wondering if i should stick to synthetic, but im a cheapo.

What about the New Q high Rpm cr*p? New oils I havent seen. Just wondering how they hold up.

Pennzoil oil filters? They were on sale, just wondering if they suck more fram. THis is going into my gf's HOnda prelude. I also bought shell motor oil for her. 89 cents a qt.!! haha

OH yeah. Ive been using Bosch oil filters for the rex? Bosch or stick with oem? I think people would say oem, but just wondering.

You can't go wrong with the OEM filters, they are very high quality. I personally plan on running nothing but the OEM oil filter on my STi.
