I agree with you on the Mobil One EP, but I think you'd be better served with the factory filter.I've been using Mobil 1 Extended Performance in all of my cars for the past few years with great results. According to some tests performed by oil weenies who think way too much about oil, M1 EP is about as good as Amsoil but less expensive. I also like using Purolator PureOne filters. Them, along with M1EP, and you're good for a year between oil changes if most of your driving is street.
