Default 5W-30 Synthetic blend, every 3-4k. I'm thinking about going to 5k though, since..
oil comes out looking brand-new at 3-4k. IMO, 3k is prolly too early for synthetic oil....but in the end,it is up to you (as always

Default You can get them in packs quite reasonably, think I paid $30 for 3 a while ago.
Try ECS tuning among many others.
