I change my own oil. I use conventional oil, 5W-30, brands like Quaker State, Valveline and Castrol (nothing fancy). I do use Slick 50 every 50,000 miles. I prefer a BOSCH oil filter (but have used Fram and AC Delco filters). As long as the filter is not overly horizontal, I like to fill it at least half way with fresh oil.
I change between 3000-5000 miles. This has worked out great so far in my '94 Grand Am (3100 with about 214,000 on it, still dependable).

Outside of that, I am unsure of any gains. I know a con is higher cost, but the trade off is longer oil life.
