Highly suggest using only full synthetic oil. Synthetic oil really can go 10K between changes.

If you don't want to go this long, just change it sooner.

Try WalMart for lower cost oil prices.

You can use a blend but not sure the required oil weight spec is available in a blend.

Read up on the advantages of synthetic oil. If your starting with a new engine designed for it, using it is really the only way to go.
