I would use the local Jiffy-Lube (or similar), which will cost you
about $0. If you do this, it is very important to tell them not to
overfill the oil reservoir. It takes about 3 1/2 quarts to fill it.
I would ask for conventional 5W30 oil for at least the first 15,000
miles. Other posters here have recommended Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic
oil after 15,000 miles.
Unless you live in a particularly dusty and dirty area, you
certainly do not need cabin filters, etc.
