When Kremit says "use cheap oil" he doesn't mean use some off-brand mystery oil from the 99 cent store. He also doesn't mean you should use recycled oil, or cheapo single-viscosity 30-weight oil or anything else like that. What he really means is that you don't need to buy Mobil 1 synthetic oil or any other "premium" oil if you plan on changing it again soon. I'm sure that's what he meant to say, but he ended up posting his typical dangerous half-baked offhand remark instead of posting thorough, useful information.

Here is what you do: buy whatever name brand (Valvoline, Quaker State, etc.) is on sale at Autozone or K-Mart. Buy at least five quarts of 10-30 weight multiviscosity oil, and a new Purolator filter too. Put exactly 4.5 quarts in the motor, and put the new filter on. NEVER put in less than 4.5 quarts, or you could ruin your motor.
