What is the type of oil are you guys/gals using on your Cobalt(base, ls, lt)?

 

I would not waste money on anything fancy.

 

Trust me, get full synthetic oil and you'll never regret it. Whether you keep your car for 20 years, beat on it or just drive it day to day, synthetic oil will prove itself time and time again. I've used it in my last 2 cars that I autocrossed (with 130,000 miles), and another that overheated. Every time I change the oil on either it'll still look as good as the day I put it in.

 

yes use mobile 1 synthetic, best stuff you can use, worth every penny, better gas milleage, car runs quieter, smoother and performs better.

 

what other things can I do to keep the life of the car longer?

i drive alot of miles 500 a week just for work and once a month i travel a lot for the military.

 

thats what im gonna put in, with an oil change every 8k, why would you not spend a couple extra bucks?

 

I run Mobil1 in every car I own and change at 5000miles or when oil life indicator says if so equipped....my only suggestion....unless you hve an LSJ......run "normal" oil for first oil change or two before switching to Mobil1 I have seen numerous motors that werent factory filled Mobil1 fail prematurely when switched to synthetic before a proper breakin period...

 

Mobil 1 for me in everything.

 

Mobil 1

Its one of (if not the best) motor oil on the market, yet its still reasonably priced at about $20 for 5 quarts.

Its factory fill in Corvette, Mercedes AMG, Viper, Aston Martin, Porsche, and many other vehicles including exotics - so you know its got to be good

 

Its also factory fill in the most important vehicle related to this forum.....The Chevrolet Cobalt SS/sc

 

Has anyone considered using Iridium plugs in there SS/SC?
