Another oil change thread
I have read through all the oil change threads and synthetic vs conventional and everything else but I am sooooo confused. I want to change the oil myself in my car (mostly for the self pride thing) but I have no clue what to use and what weight I should use or anything. All the threads that have been done told me nothing about what I should use. I have a tad over 4000 miles on my car. Should I use the ester synthetic, regular synthetic or conventional oil? I am in the south and we are getting into the cold season so what weight oil should I get as well or does the weather even matter in this case? I want the best so my car lasts a long time. Will I ever need to change the type of oil I use? I know this has been posted to death but maybe if there was some clear detail as to what I should get then I could have avoided this all together. So dang frustrated!

Good for you for wanting to change your own oil 
Women who work on their own cars are keepers in my eyes... LOL... Ok outside temperature hardly has any effect on the oil you put in your engine (if any)... The weight you'd want to go with is 5W-30... I personally use Eneos 5W-30 full synthetic and have had zero problems... Car runs great... Running fully synthetic is the way to go in our cars IMO... High compression, high revving, high horsepower engines need good oil... Just remember, once you go fully synthetic, you can't go back to conventional motor oil... Hope I helped out somewhat

Any time a woman starts talking about lubrication I'm in full attention... I'd recommend checking out http://www.renewablelube.com/motoroilsHP.htm. These folks make a full synthetic ester based oil for the RS4 which historically destroys engine oil faster then anything and it's able to last the full mileage. Moving to them on my next oil change.
Besides, Rosey can change gears any time she wants... she just doesn't need a clutch. Changing oil is above and beyond...

well that was a "Bitch" of a remark to make. We were making jokes/congratulating on how you change your own oil, may as well row your own gears too it was meant more as a "well you do this much, may as well do more"... dont be so damn sensitive
