[T2] Oil Change - which "style"

[accessys at smart.net]

the ONLY thing that my engine sees' after breakin is Mobil 1 15w-50 it 
has the highest amounts of ZPPD of any major brand oil and is not too 
outragous in price.

and this is ONLY the 15W-50 weight that has the high level of additive

of course YMMV
