Ok...then Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 it is! Does the car feel any different when switching to sythetic? What are the advantages?

No difference for me. I use it for longer drain interval. Synthetic is 'suppose' to run cooler than dino oil.

Pennzoil is cheaper if you buy individual bottles. They're $4.01/quart around here so you're saving about $6.

That's weird. You should have checked out the one in Santa Ana first over the Cerritos one. Did you go to the one in the town center? The Wal-marts here in south oc seem to always be stocked with the jugs.
