well i use Mobil1 5W-30 in the summer and 10W-30 in the winter... because where i live in the summer it can peak over 100 degrees and in the winter, it can occasionally drop below 0 degrees but every winter it gets below freezing. I do put 93 octane into my car also. If im just going to be driving a long distance i will put some medium grade or lower grade in it, but for just zipping around town i put the 93 in there. i usually only put 5 dollars at a time of 93 octane, just because i dont want to fill up on it and then drive 2 hours. I also use K&N gold oil filters. I guess the reason i use them is because they come off with the use of a socket. soo easy to do. I know I spend tons of money on "stupid stuff", but i take care of my cars.
Your point of who knows how long im going to drive this car is rediculous. If thats true then just ride around on bald ass tires, leave any body kit or repairs you get unpainted, don't bother washing it, hell don't even change the oil, because really, who knows how long you are going to have that car.
im a firm believer in taking care of what you have. if you get a new car, old car, or even a new house, then you should take care of it. don't just rag your s*** out. We are car enthusists, not your every day soccer moms that just beat the s*** out of their cars and don't care whether or not it lasts another year, so yes we are going to take care of our cars even if they are the fastest damn things in the world.
