Just thought id share some input on what I found. My first two oil changes were at the dealership where according to the receipt they used Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20. When I checked my dip stick prior to this change it looked somewhat dirty but to my surprise it was filthy when I drained it which was shocking for only 4,100 miles on this oil. I was up in the air between mobile one and Pennzoil but I like what I was reading about Pennzoil so I decided to stay with it since I know thats what is actually being put in the car. Kind of makes me wonder if they were actually putting that oil in my car or not.
Additionally, I changed the transmission fluid to Amsoil Synchromesh because I was hoping it would eliminate some of the crunchiness and roughness. Just as I experienced with this fluid in my old 8th gen si it is a complete night and day difference with each shift being smooth as butter. I am not a salesman or anything for Amsoil but I can attest on two different vehicles that this stuff if amazing. Between both fluid changes the car seems to be running a lot smoother and overall feels better. Hope this helps some of you out and please let me know if you any feedback on the oil situation.
If anyone needs advice on the transmission fluid change @Tenshi has a great write up that really helped me out!
