Hehe. My father's shop, not mine. But of course I use it. And I forget what oil that is.... I believe it was just a generic 10w30 I picked up (that pic is like 3 months old). I've since been turned to the Valvoline side...

Ok it gets to a point where you can change your oil to often. Look in the manual it says every 5k in stop and go or 7.5k highway. Yes I would say change more often than that but every 1000 is a little too much IMO. Unless you are heavily modded. Again just my 2 cents.

Heavily modded alone dont mean ****.......if ur ***** footing arnd town 75% of the time. The only time anyone cld justify 1000 mile oil changes is if they RACE. PERIOD! Other than that ur just wasting $$$$

Actually my car's using more oil than it should (especially when i drive it hard) so I either add oil or change it about 1000 miles so that I can keep the oil level from being low.
