I use castrol GTX since I got mine. You can also look into a synthetic oil if you want to spend the money. Just use our search button to look up some threads about it. Its more expensive but better for your engine and lasts longer. If you also use google, you can find alot of information on it.

WHAT?

Your '07 shouldn't be low on oil. On that new of a car, you shouldn't be leaking or burning any oil. If it is, take it to the dealership immediately for a warranty repair/replacement.

You should change your oil whenever it is contaminated. During break-in, an oil change is recommended around 500 miles. After that, most cars are done every 3000 miles or every 3 months, whichever comes first. Some cars/oils will go longer between oil changes. Consult your owner's manual for service intervals.

I use Mobil Clean 5000 5W20 on my 2005 Honda Civic Coupe Value Package. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. It is a conventional oil that works good.

Agreed. Make sure you are on a flat surface when checking the oil... it shouldnt be low.
