I change both of mine at the beginning of the season and use 20-50 Vavoline Racing oil for the Zinc factor and use a K&N Oil filter.

I go with, 3K miles or 6 months... whatever comes first. I like 20W50 for the really hot months here. I run it a little thinner in the cooler months. (Rotella T usually) I used to prefer AC filters, but have recently been swayed to use Puralator.

Same here, I use the K&N filter because they are much tougher than any factory filter. I have popped a NAPA Gold and a Fram oil filters from high cold pressure. I change the oil whenever it starts to look dirty, twice over the past year, ironically the exact same time my filters popped dumping 9 quarts of oil on the garage floor!
