I have 101,000 on my odometer. My dad told me to use 10W-40 motor oil; my friend told me to use 10W-30 what do you guys use or recommend me using on my car? I don't want to wear out my car....

I've been using Castrol Syntec 5w30 and K&N oil filters for the past 95,000 miles and have not had any problems. My 95 ST has 190k on it and I've only had to replace the starter and a battery(in the 4 years I've owned it). Every now and then it will mysteriously burn a quart of oil, but it normally happens if I've gone more than 3500 between changes.
