Hey guys, i need your advice
As some of you may know i purchased my Monte this past spring from a used dealership.
She had 85,XXX miles on her, and she's do for her oil change.
Now, i don't know what the previous owners were using or what the dealership equipped it with.
But what would you recommend for an 04 Monte Intimidator
What oil and filter would you recommend for my monte's first change.
Thanks again guys/girls.

a friend at work has a supercharged monte, how do you change/fill the the supercharged oil, it seemed like it was a total biotch to change, also checking the power steering fluid was also a pain? it took atleast an hour to figure out where you check it/fill it, if you could, let me know so i can relay the message to him it would be very helpful, thanks

Thanks for the info.
I just got back in from work, yeah i don't know wether the supercharged oil has been changed, to be honest i didnt know about this til reading. thanks for opening up my eyes a bit. I will do a little bit more of research, thanks again. She can run a couple more miles without changing the oil, or is that tooo much of a risk to be taking?

Go with FULL synthetic....I have never used anything but in my Monte! I use Mobil 1 5w-30...i've used the 0w-30 a few times to since they didnt have the 5w-30...
As for the filter, I either use an AC Declco, Mobil 1, K&N, or Fram Xtended Gaurd (this is the only Fram i'll use, the rest are crap), Wix, or Purolater Pure One.
