I used Valvoline Synthetic Blend of some sort( cant think of it off hand right now)
Once again, my opinion (for us "regular driven" Contours) is regular dino oil on a 3k/3mth interval is fine (I used regular Castrol/Purolator on my last change). Would I use Fram/or some other lesser advertized oils like Shell or whatever? Sure. But you are on synthetic blend and that should be better than regular dino oil. I have only used synthetic for one of my former vehicles (85 Lancer ES Turbo). The one and only turbo or digital display or modified wheels vehicle I have owned.
