Engine oil, what do you use?
So I finally decided to change my own oil. But what should I use? THere are so many different selections. Which would you recommend?

This question is going to get you nowhere. Everyone always has a preference and some people swear by it. Theoretically, all engine oil is the same no matter who you go with. The only decision you have to make is if you want regular, or synthetic. Remember, if you transfer to synthetic you can never go back!
