    Well, if you just talking about the oil not the entire process.

    IMO buy yourself a 5 quart jug of Castrol 5W-30 GTX and a AC Delco PF47 oil filter.

    k and n filters are nice, they have the nut on them to take them off easier, and they are a quality filter.

    5 quarts of 5w-30 amsoil and either a mobil one or k&N filter for a blazer. They are a little longer and boost your capacity to 5qts instead of 4.5. The two filters internally are the same.

    The question is, how cold will it get there during the winter? If it gets below 0 F then 5w30 would be the better choice. If not, 10w30 would be ideal.

    Well, it is your car buddy. But preparing for the winter ahead go with 5W-30 100%.

    some filter? If you've got mobil 1 I'd at least buy some sort of synthetic oil filter or premium filter.
