Cheapest synthetic is better than the most expensive standard oil. Walmart offer full synthetic, 5-quart containers of 5W and 10W-30 oil for about 17 bucks.
Either of those weights will serve you well - for 6,000 miles or so.
If you want to run for 10,000 miles, then a Mobile 1 full synthetic for a bit over double the price will serve well.
Suggest that you NEVER allow someone to sell you oil by the quart. The mark up is silly.
Suggest that 4 quart containers are NOT for cars... No car takes 4 quarts.
Suggest that 5 quart containers are good for buying and discarding oil - also cheaper. Check your local Walmart... then check ANY other retailer. Let us know if you can beat the price and container size advantage offered by Walmart.

Testimonial: "one out of three...at least someone helped! thanks!"
Hi,
It is not necessary to clean out the regular oil, just start with Full
Synthetic oil on your next oil change. The best is Mobil One.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
Brand? I always go with either Mobile One or Castrol Syntech. If the vehicle is a diesel then Rotella or Delo. Delvac and Mystic is also good for diesels.
