				 I've been using Castrol Syntec 5w30 and K&N oil filters for the past 95,000 miles and have not had any problems. My 95 ST has 190k on it and I've only had to replace the starter and a battery(in the 4 years I've owned it). Every now and then it will mysteriously burn a quart of oil, but it normally happens if I've gone more than 3500 between changes.
