im a big fan of castrol oils, they are the only thing that would quiet the lifters in my old 3100 buick.

I use Castrol Syntec in my Maxima and Castrol GTX in the wifes truck

Counting I have a 97 SE myself with 197,000+ miles, I usually run Castrol GTX High Mileage. It comes in full synthetic. Thats what I use.
