Personally, I tend to stick with Mobil 1 and AC DECLO filters...oil dark brown come 3000 miles.. If its black its basically exhausted and NEEDS to be changed..check it every now and then, if it looks really dark after a while..change it again just to get all the crap outta it.

Yeah last time I got the Mobil 1 and had Pontiac put one of their AC Delco filters. But yea right now its pretty black so Im hoping the light is on because of all that old dino stuff mixing with it.

BTW that Service Engine Soon light is most likely the oil right?

Seems to me the Purolater filters are the best. That'* what I was gonna get for the 'Rora'* oil change (which will need to be done right after I get her, pretty much) and Mobil 1 is what I'll use for oil. Sound good? Thanks again, guys

I've used a Purolator Pure one in my park ave..and once in my Bonneville...seemed to do the trick
Actually im considering switching to Red line synthetic and Pure one filters because a parts store close to me carries the two and i get a 10% discount there..

K&N gold,castrol 10 w 30 and a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer....
K&N is good,castrol is good and Lucas must be if they are a motorsports sponsor!!
(NHRA,IHRA,NASCAR,etc,etc,etc)
I don't worry about disposal...............I let someone else change mine!!!!!!!!!
(Don't worry,It is a good friend that does it!!!!!!)
