In the 4 years, 48k miles, and probably 10 oil changes,
I have used 4 different quality oils and not noticed any difference.
I use a synthetic oil and change approx 5k mile intervals.

I like Reline oils but you can stick with the Mobil 1 if that's what you have been using. Dont run gear oil in your primary though. Put the gear oil in your trans. I like ATF in the primary but everyone is different.

Napa has 15W50 full SYn for $4.99/qt
Formula Plus in the tranny or 75W90 or 75W140 in heat
Formula plus in the primary.....

Most important part is actually changing it.
