I only use Mann. 9 bucks and it comes with a crush washer and o-ring.

Agreed, even with synthetic oil the soot loading is what makes oil "bad" in these engines. That happens 3-5k miles no matter what oil is in it. Dino is good for 3k. If you want a better oil and don't mind spending more, synthetic IS better but it still goes bad at 4 or 5k at the MOST! There is no extending OCIs safely in these motors, sorry.
