3rd oil change???? Give me a break. It killed me to hold out for
5,000mi and in went the Mobil-1 0-20! I swear I heard the car thank me
when I drove away from the garage!!!!!!

Mobil 1 will give you excellent winter starting and low wear because
it "flows" at low temperatures and won't lose viscosity at high temps.
Additives aren't needed. Just change your oil according to warranty. Mobil
1 costs about $3-4/qt, to which you'd add $2-5 for the oil filter. What was
the "labor" charge on your oil change? Find a local garage or change the
oil yourself. My Acura Integra is in its 13th year, 77,000 miles .. . all
on synthetic (Mobil 1) 5w-30. Out of warranty oil change is every 6,000
miles, irrespective of time. NEVER a problem.
