The right oil for the FD
Now when it comes to motor oil for the 3rd gen, what is the best oil to use? Is Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W-30 a good oil to use?

i've taken a lot of motors apart and haven't ever noticed a difference with the way the internals look depending on any particular brand of oil.
the frequency of oil changes is infinately more important than the type of oil you use.

20/50 is good in the summer or if you have lots of bearing clearance, but my car produces ~40psi at idle, and peaks around 120 @3k rpm with 10/30 in there. i'll probably run 5w30 next oil change and 10/40 in the summer.
and if anyone REALLY wants to use synthetic, just blow the $13/qt and use torco.
